Yes, you can use your laptop as a monitor for your PS3, but it can be a bit tricky. You need a capture card or an HDMI input port on your laptop. Most laptops only have HDMI output, so check your specs first.

No, most laptops don't support HDMI input. Better off getting a cheap monitor if you can.

I鈥檝e used an HDMI capture card to play my PS3 games on my laptop. It's not the easiest setup, but it works!

You'd need a video capture device, like an Elgato capture card, and appropriate software to display it on your laptop screen. It's not plug-and-play, but it's doable.
