  1. probly not i never herd of that b4 but what you can do if your pc has a s vidio port and same with your tv that would work


  2. my son uses his tv somehow pretty neat i thought so anyway  

  3. no you cannot use the laptop as your pc monitor. there is no input from laptop. the one found on laptop is an output for the laptop to external monitor  

  4. No.

  5. If you can detach the cable from you laptop's monitor and work out the pin connections and solder them to a 15-pin D VGA connector, it would theoretically work. But you need to supply power to the laptop's screen and if that power cable were to accidentally go into your brand new PC, it would be an expensive repair. It's not a new idea and some people have done it.  

  6. i would suggest buying a moniter.

  7. In practice no you can't. You can only connect a moniter to a laptop, you can't use a laptop as a monitor.

  8. nopwe

  9. sorry but i don't believe it will work that way.  the connector on the laptop is probably output only

  10. i think it only works the other way round...but i dont really know

  11. i work for dell and you would have to buy a monitor

  12. Should be no problem
