Connecting an Xbox to a laptop.

Caoimhín

Hey lads,

Right, im not asking about xbox live connection. What im asking is there any way of hooking up a laptop to the xbox so that i can use the screen to play games. Essentially what i want to do is use the laptop monitor in place of a TV to play games.

Anyone ever done it or can it be done?

Thanks in advance.

The only way is to use something like this or some othe video grabber, forget about quality.

if it has a VGA IN, which it probably doesnt..
or video in.

was wondering about this too. Also what kind of definition do laptop screens have, i know all monitors come HD but would a laptop be capable of full HD ?

Yes, depends on the screen

What inputs does your laptop have for video?

You can forget about HD if you're using the above device!! If you have another means of video in to your laptop then the resolution depends on your laptop.

I've watched blu ray dvds in full (or very near to it) quality on laptops. It's really down to the machine in question. What type of laptop do you have, what inputs does it have.

You an get a VGA cable for the seXbox that might do it?
