    you mean you have some video source that you want displayed on your laptop? the only way i can think of is through a tv tuner jack. i think most laptops are meant to send out their feed, not receive it... so ur hdmi port is good for displayin hd content on ur hd tv , but i don't think ur able to reverse it using somethin else, unless u had a tv tuner. i could be wrong though, wait till someone with better experience and knowlege answers... i don't wanna shatter your wishes. :D
