    Is it possible using a TV tuner or something to make the HD screen of the G51vx (x1a) usable as a screen for an xbox?

    to do that, you would need some sort of external video capture device (component, hdmi if it exists). problems with those are that they usually have massive input lag and cost an arm and a leg.

    not worth it.

    Yeap. Almost all notebooks only have output ports, no input ports unless specified.
