Hello, I am going to get a laptop very soon (hopefully tomorrow at some point), and where I live at the moment a tele isn't exactly ideal let alone cheap.
Does anyone know what ways I may be able to hook my xbox 360 (and others) to display on the laptop screen? Aside from features that may come with it (like s-video input or something like that). I'm using standard AV cables for the 360, plus it has an s-video cable for s-video input. |

As far as i know, there aren't many laptops (if any) that have video inputs. They do have many outputs! You would need a kind of video capture card to get the AV signal from the Xbox onto the laptop. I know there are many capture cards for pc's (and usb style ones for laptops) but I am not sure if you are able to feed live signals to the pc (i.e. if there would be a delay from you using the xbox to it showing on the laptop screen).
Good Luck, let us know what you find out! |

Yea that seems like it would likely cause some issues. As mentioned a capture card would be needed and its very unlikely that wouldn't cause a potentially disastrous amount of lag. People notice if there is a ms delay in videogames so I can imagine having it be processed and pumped through it would probably seem like you were playing an online game over a 14K modem :|

I couldn't find any possible solutions to this and sadly, you must buy a TV. There are small TVs going cheap at places like Walmart or etc.
