This tutorial is a lifesaver!!! Almost all of the other tutorials are teaching how to hook up a laptop to a monitor, not how to use the laptop as the sole monitor.

No, U need a capture card + obs app to do that​@@isinduwickramasekara9786

[@exist2461]

some people askin if they can connect directly a hdmi cable to the laptop which is my case too but as i searched the answer is no sadly ,it's not possible since the hdmi port on the laptop is hdmi port as "output" meanwhile it should be as an input port and thats why we should use the USB ( not totally sure tho , but thats it propably)

Bruh, I'm building my 2.5k PC right now. I have bought the Powerbox, and the CPU is the last thing I need for the PC to be usable. The GPU is too expensive, so I'll buy it in like 3 months and this vid helped me a lot because I got no money to spend on a monitor after the CPU and I alr have a laptop so thanks for this vid!

[@UNDONE-916]

And for anyone wondering these are the specs. - The CPU is a 13700K - GPU is an Aorus 4070 Ti Master edition - 16 GB DDR5 Kingston Fury RGB - MSI Z790 P WiFi Pro - CPU Cooler NZXT Kraken Z53 - NZXT H7 Flow - Powerbox Seasonic GC12

[@brahimmoalla1383]

did this method worked for you without any problems? no risk for pc desktop?

[@yourlocalindian8708]

Your CPU is too strong for the GPU meaning you have a bottleneck. Also get 32gb of RAM its optimal for gaming. And your cooler is too expensive + there are way better options, NZXT just looks a little cooler.@@UNDONE-916

Rápido, direto e preciso parabéns!!! Resolveu meu problema.

[@wzd_ramz4115]

fica com delay?

[@drunk_by_noon9231]

A similar way to do this without needing an adapter is to use Steam remote play. The trick is to stream the right program/game that you can minimize and then access the entire computer instead of just the game. The only problem is you need to have a display on the host computer so you can run Steam and set it up.

[@pl-hs7jv]

Hi Thanks for clear and concise video. I tried the setup, works fine. One issue though: seems that laptop is constantly refreshing, so how to avoid that?

[@bhuvaneshwaranm5798]

Is there any input lag in your setup

[@khrisna-k1x]

@@bhuvaneshwaranm5798 There is input lag in my experience, but I think it's mostly depend on what capture card you're using and maybe your laptop spec. Mine just the cheapest one in the market and a 6 years old laptop (asus 144 whatever, forgot it, the sticker is teared) getting around 50-100ms input lag, it's not much but very noticeable to me.

[@leonbishop7404]

@@khrisna-k1x probably depends on how well your laptop gpu can decode the whatever virtual camera codec capture card uses

Your laptop would need a HDMI input port.

[@CookedChicken1]

@@AKaptijn94 my laptop has hmdi port, will it be going just the same like in the video or better, because it doesnt use any "converter" thing.

[@AKaptijn94]

@@CookedChicken1 You need a HDMI input port and you most likely have a HDMI output port. 99% of the laptops with a HDMI port have a HDMI output not an input. If you have a HDMI input, than it will work better that a HDMI input to USB converter.

[@raiustrikes3724]

You could probably buy a cheap USB KVM switch, this way it's easier to switch between the laptop and Tower M&K. It would be better for gaming too so you could use a wireless keyboard and mouse if you preferred.

[@gabr1elangelas461]

​@@raiustrikes3724 Could you make PS4 display it on laptop the same way like you did with PC?

[@WhilzNuas]

@@gabr1elangelas461 Theoretically yes. I have done it before but you still need that OBS software and the Videocapture/USB to HDMI devide. Although there are some games that makes it lag at times but you can tinker a bit on the framerate settings. My son is using his PS4 and hooked it up on his laptop playing Genshin Impact. He can play Genshin on Laptopn but it was so slow so we hooked up his PS4 to it and played that way. I am honestly hoping that there will be a "plug and play" device that can do this in the future without having to rely on OBS software.

[@presymarauder]

@@gabr1elangelas461 I play my ps4 on my laptop monitor all the time. This ain't too tough to do. You need a good HDMI capture card, a HDMI cable to make the connection. Then use the OBS software as shown in this video. Mostly no lag.

if somehow you find a way to send all keystrokes to host os and disable laptop os reaction to them at the same time, you can basically use the host pc while being at the laptop

[@drunk_by_noon9231]

You can use Steam remote play for that without needing an adapter and even be able to access the host computer wirelessly anywhere you have a decent internet connection. The trick is to stream the right program/game that you can minimize and then access the entire computer instead of just the game.
