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.

Ok mate. First of all you can connect your xbox 360 to your lappy provided it meets the basic requirement which is
1. 256 mb ram
2. Intel celeron 1.3 ghz or equivalent
3. Atleast 250 mb of free space
4. Directx 9.0 and sound card
Now the name of the device is "Adaptec gamebridge avc 1400 series", therez ofcoure the new "1410" one with the difference being that the latter comes with a tv tuner. I have the former one and trust me mate, it works perfectly with no delay. But, like everything, it has its own pros and cons. And, the 'con', I am facing is, a black and white display, which does have a solution, but I am yet to find out. All the best mate! tc and happy gaming!
