Can I use my laptop as a monitor?

I want to use my Dell M1530 laptop as a monitor for my Xbox 360. The CRT TV I’m using with it right now is about 22 years old. It works great but the picture is not NEARLY as clear as the Laptop I’m using right now. It looks like i have HDMI out, VGA out, and S-video.

Any suggestions on a setup I could use before I have the funds to buy an HDTV come December?

there’s this but it’s for the Wii (I’m prety sure they did or planned on doing a version for the 360 though…)
you can always hack the wii connector to a YUV connector I guess…

if your laptop has vga input or display port you could use it as a screen but very very few laptop have those options :\

you can also use a video input usb-thingie, but the result on screen is prolly gonna be ugly, and have a lot of lag.

yeah., I thought that’s what the case would be…
