    Hello, I want to know if I can use my Clevo with Nvidia 680m like a monitor to connect my Xbox 360? And use the screen to monitor? HDMI IN? O only HDMI OUT?

    Sorry for my english

    There is no built in HDMI input, you would have to use an external card to let you do that.

    Yeah not possible without an HDMI input. Why not look at picking up an inexpensive 20 something inch LCD TV?

    It might be he wants to take his console somewhere without a TV.... but otherwise yeah, it's easier to get a nice big TV which you could also hook up the laptop to for dual screen or just a larger image.

    I thought the OP was just looking to save money not for the portability.

    He did not specify, but you might be able to get a cheap adapter to pull it off for less than a TV.

    Beware of lag with that though.

    Yeah I haven't heard great things about the adapter. IMHO you'd be better getting an new TV/monitor.

    Yes unless you really can't have one it is the ideal solution and multi-monitor action is always nice.
