Drevvster Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 How do i play xbox 360 though my laptop computer screen? I have the right cord, it connects. But i think because its a laptop and not just a monitor that the computer is trying to be displayed on the screen while the xbox is trying too. The computer wins. Anyone have an idea how i can do it? When its plugged in and the laptop and xbox is on, the computer blinks and reloads in black. Also i get choices on the bottoms like resolution and presentation mode but none of them make the xboxs display be shown on the screen. Thanks in advance! -Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekikire Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 You can't, the hdmi connector on your laptop is for sending the laptops display out to an external screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HDMI is only an output. You can technically do it if you have a screen cap box and just enlarge the screen on your laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drevvster Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 after i posted before i found out that im connecting useing vga cables.
