Making a remote LCD screen for a computer!!

Looking at some websites I have found diagrams and instructions on how to build an LCD screen to fit in your computer (instead of buying one). It is inexpensive and relatively simple, lots of wiring but no complicated circuits. I was wondering though, is it possible to convert the signal from the computer to transmit it (using radio rather than IR) to a remote LCD screen (also part of the build, not a bought part). If anyone has any ideas please help!

One site that explains the LCD for computer well is https://www.gideontech.com/guides/lcd/

I am thinking of building a remote control for my computer. I though that havinga display on the remote would save having the monitor on all the time and mean that I could use it while not in view of the monitor. But at present it is just an idea, trying to combine to things into one!

Presumably you are aware that the LCD doesn't display the same thing as the monitor?.

It's only a small (4x20) text display, used to display short text messages.
