PS3 through laptop screen?

[TheSlee]

Hi, I looked around for possibilities for this and it seems that the outcome is NO it cannot happen as laptops don't usually have the right ports, I was just wondering if I am correct in thinking that mine has a VGA input on the back. It's a blue port that is also on PC graphics cards, sorry if this seems like a really stupid question but I am not sure and I don't want to be disappointed if I buy a PS3 :P

 

will it work for me?

 

Thanks

I doubt it, laptop VGA ports are female (designed to only output to another device)

you require an input VGA port on the laptop for it to work and I have never seen one....

ack, yeah, just realised and was about to hit the edit button. Now I gotta think of a cheap way of displaying a PS3 though :(

Just get a 20" screen off ebay or use an LCD one, you can get them for <£100 now new
