    Hey guys,

    In a couple weeks i will be going on exchange to Germany for 4 months and would really like to bring my Xbox and my HP DV6700t (same as DV6500t). I was wondering whether or not i am able to connect my Xbox to my laptops screen. I have a VGA out and HDMI out, like all dv6xxxt serious, but i understand that these are not IN ports which limits my options. Any suggestions as to what i can do and if there are any products out there that can convert any of these ports?

    Many thanks in advance.

    So that is all i need to connect to my Xbox. Will there be any lag on the gaming or is it just like on a TV? This isn't HD by any chance?
