-- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 12:18 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 I'll give someone 2000 points if they can find a way to connect my PS3 through HDMI into my laptop, and use it as a screen. I'm not sure if it's possible, but 2000+ points if you find a working method. wOW, DUMB MOMENT It's an HP Pavilion DV4 -- Posted by sieeeeerra at 12:19 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 You need a cord, i think they sell them at gamestop? Get a PC transmitter cord that plugs in through usb. -- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 12:20 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 Quote: from trashleyy at 3:19 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 You need a cord, i think they sell them at gamestop?

If you want to use your laptop as a creen you will have to get an addon (pcicard or USB ) video card it's a tv tuner card for a laptop and they will not give your laptop better performance just let you plug it to a tv signal (VGA, coaxial, component, and even HDMI) there are lots of different ones but HDMI ones would be more expensive then getting an LCD monitor with DVI inputs and using that for your PS3 a HDMI cable and a DVI to HDMI adapter. -- Posted by ManiacPenguins at 12:21 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 Quote: from Miss Vanity at 3:20 pm on Dec. 26, 2008 If your Laptop has an HDMI input or mini HDMI input just use that, however most of them are outputs only.
