I have a panel set up with the appropriate adapters. I originally got the Adafruit kit, which came with a nice frame. That board worked for a while, but I would not recommend it for two reasons: something changed/broke after a year and a high power AC adapter had to be used with it, and it's much more expensive than the other boards out there.
My recommendation for these are the converter boards from AbuseMark [0]. In addition to the basic DP-eDP adapters, he also has HDMI and miniDP versions of the boards. Powering the boards for the backlight is also easier as it's just USB. It seems that he's introduced a USB-C version recently as well. He also has a number of very useful "accessories", like different cables for the various kinds of LCD panels, or a specialized DP-HDMI adapter that handles the odd resolution properly. It looks like shipping from Japan is on hold for the time being, but I highly recommend them once shipping is back up.
Thanks for your input! Those from AbuseMark look great. The USB-C version works if DisplayPort Alternate Mode is supported. It costs 30 USD, same as regular DisplayPort one.
I have an AbuseMark board as well, despite not having used it yet as I don't have the right display connector the service was excellent and can vouch for them too. I had a cheap chinese board first which didn't support brightness control, but the AbuseMark boards support brightness control over serial so that's nice.
