Use Laptop as monitor.

Hello
I have a problem.My desktops screen broke some days ago and I am waiting for the screen I ordered.I need to acess my desktop kind of urgently.

So I googled a bit and I found this :
If the laptop has a tv tuner,it is possible to connect the desktop somehow.
It says:"Plug in your desktops TV-out into your laptops tv tuner"

My laptop (Acer aspire 5510) has a tv tuner.
What cables do I need?

Are there other sollutions to use the laptop as a monitor?

Thanks in advance

My System

Re: Use Laptop as monitor.

well, your desktop also needs to have the right connection to do this also. It may be plainly listed as a TV out, maybe an S video out.

But it needs to have the same connection type as your laptop has for its input. Check that first.
