    So, I'm in the military, and space in my barracks room is limited. Is there a way to hook in a PS3 into my laptop and use the screen to play games on it?

    too bad the stock screen gives the worst colors ever. I can't seem to get past this.

    download, install all three, restart the machine, start up nvidia control panel, click on the display menu tree, then adjust desktop color settings....play with digital vibrance and it could help out some.

    I have been looking for something exactly like this. I wish there was a way to get an HD tuner card with component inputs. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

    no extra lag, but some of the worse looking graphics you can get. you need to use component cables and a component in type of card. and most of the laptop tv tuner cards (if not all of them) don't have component in.....
