can I connect my Xbox 360 to my laptops monitor using the HDMI port? or is that only to send out information to my TV. Or is it impossible to even use my laptops moniter as a screen for my Xbox?

Normally, it's impossible or hard. You'd need a input of some kind. I used to have a laptop with an s-video in, but I don't think the 7807 does. I'm guessing, but the 7807 has a VGA out and an HDMI out, correct? If that's the case, then the answer is pretty much no. I've heard of TV tuners that plug into USB ports, but I can't imagine that works very well, especially with a game console. I don't know for sure though. lol, care to spend $100 to see what would it be like to pull a 1080p signal through a tv tuner that's plugged into a usb port?

I've an Avermedia Nano Expresscard TV Tuner that I should receive from eBay tomorrow. I'll be testing out how well the Xbox works with an Expresscard 54 slot, I'm sure much better vs. USB .
