What are the connector names to the display?

My friend has a non-working iMac. My goal is to reuse the display as a 27" screen to connect to a tower PC.

I currently have access to the non-functioning iMac with its hard drive removed. I opened following tutorials here. I then ordered and got delivered a controller board. When I tried to connect the controller board to the display, I realized that the connectors were male on both sides. I figured I needed a female-female adaptor. My problem is that I have no idea what name those connectors have, and thus can't look for any kind of adaptor that would fit...

I'll add pictures of the controller and the endings of it.

Who's controller board did you get (make & model)? If you have a URL to it please supply it as well.

They title it : "HDMI+DVI+VGA+Audio LCD Screen Controller Board Monitor Kit for LM270WQ1 SD E3 "

Any chance you can post an image of the label on the back of the LCD panel?

It may take some effort but personally I would make use of the free repair program. It's about at its end but someone else on the site, just today got Apple to repair it:

iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program

Apple has determined that some AMD Radeon HD 6970M video cards used in 27-inch iMac computers with 3.1GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 or 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processors may fail, causing the computer’s display to appear distorted, white or blue with vertical lines, or to turn black. iMac computers with affected video cards were sold between May 2011 and October 2012.

The problem within the broken mac is _not_ within the video card (most probably it would be the logic board). I am not trying at all to repair the iMac, but mostly trying to recuperate the display block and turn it into a screen.

Sorry, that's way outside my area of expertise. I just fix 'um. @oldturkey03 knows a lot on this than I do.
