Can you use a laptop screen/computer monitor to play a xbox 360?
Question Posted Monday August 24 2009, 2:34 am
I have a Windows Vista laptop and I was wondering if I could use it to play my Xbox 360. Reason is both of my brothers' consoles are connected to the same TV as my Xbox 360 so play time among us is quite difficult since we are serious gamers. My Xbox 360 is an Elite by the way. Would I need certain cables for this procedure? Or would a desktop computer screen be better?
This is similar to plugging a computer into my Sony LCD Bravia tv. But in the computer - tv scenario, you need a specific monitor cable.
So with some monitors yes, just check for the yellow, white and red jacks on your laptop/monitor. If you need more help, just ask me.
EDIT: Also, you may be able to find an A/V - computer monitor adapter(plug the jacks into the adapter, which has a video cable leading to the monitor.)
