Is there any way i can play xbox 360 on my laptop screen ? and if yes does it look like i'm playing on a CRT TV or it looks HD ?
Any help would be appreciated...

should be ok, if your laptop has a hd mi connection then you can use your hd mi cable, if you only have a VGA connection then you need the 360 VGA cable, as for resolution you should be able to use the 360 setup menu to adjust your resolution, the picture quality is good, but it depends on what screen resolution, and refresh rate your laptop screen can manage.
you will also need to connect up some speakers for sound as well, as the VGA connection only transmits the picture and not the sound.
I tried connecting the xbox and the laptop with an hdmi cable doesn't work plus i googled it and they said it's impossible.should be ok, if your laptop has a hd mi connection then you can use your hd mi cable, if you only have a VGA connection then you need the 360 VGA cable, as for resolution you should be able to use the 360 setup menu to adjust your resolution, the picture quality is good, but it depends on what screen resolution, and refresh rate your laptop screen can manage.

I suspect very strongly youve never tried this and youre just assuming it'll work because you can see the ports. Thread starter this will NOT work the ports on your laptop are OUTPUTS they only send signal OUT they dont receive them. There isnt really a way to get a laptop screen to display a consoles signal without hacking the laptop open and rigging the 360 into the screens input (which needless to say is messy, difficult and you wont have a laptop afterwards) Best i can suggest is video capture hardware that streams the signal to be recorded to the laptop BUT this is a terrible way to actually play a game full time. My advice just get a cheap pc monitor, the 360 VGA kit and that'll see you fine.should be ok, if your laptop has a hd mi connection then you can use your hd mi cable, if you only have a VGA connection then you need the 360 VGA cable, as for resolution you should be able to use the 360 setup menu to adjust your resolution, the picture quality is good, but it depends on what screen resolution, and refresh rate your laptop screen can manage.

. My advice just get a cheap pc monitor, the 360 VGA kit and that'll see you fine.penpusherIf i get a cheap monitor for let' say 100$ do i get a good quality picture ? i mean i want to play on a monitor close to an hdtv not close to a crt tv you know what i'm saying? And how should the vga cable be like ? you know on both sides thx for your help.
one more thing can't i just connect my xbox with my laptop with a vga cable ? and do i get a good quality ?sub-raidI already answered you with the 1st post I replied with. The ports on your laptop are OUTPUTS and thus you cannot connect your 360 to your laptop fullstop ... I dont know what was hard to understand the first time
