Xbox360 viewable on a Laptop Screen?

Gonzo · 2006-04-18 18:18:16

hey guys This is prolly a really silly question but is it possible to connect an xbox 360 to a laptop using the hd VGA cable to the VGA input at the back of the laptop and get the 360 image on the laptops screen. My Laptop's screen is a 17" widescreen ultra hd 1900x1200 screen and I think my 360 would look awesome running…

Didn't know you could get a laptop with a VGA input - most of them have a vga output though.

If it is a VGA input you should have no problem and you won't cause any damage by just trying it out.

The number of laptops with VGA input are pretty rare. Honestly doubt you have one.
