    By far the most clear and concise explanation of how to use your laptop as a displaying monitor (as Laptops generally don't come with an HDMI input port). Many thanks, and much appreciated

      buy a converter from your pc which is maybe VGA or whatever it is, and to the other end hdmi. so you connect your cable to your hdmi converter and plug it in the pc with the other end VGA(or what your pc has
