    Ive been looking everywere for some info on how to do this. Everyone says that tv tuners cause video lag and what not. Im wondering if it would look better on this laptop or is there anything special that i can do to make my laptop a moniter for my consoles. Any ideas?! Thanks

    There is no way to make your M17x screen into an external monitor for consoles. The HDMI output on the M17x in only for output.
    Meaning you can use an external monitor, NOT hook up a PS3 of 360.


    I wish you could cause I would have already done that lol but it just doesn't work that way.
