How to Use a Laptop as a Monitor for Your Xbox Series X|S
Are you tired of playing your Xbox Series X|S on a small TV? Do you wish you had a bigger screen but don’t want to invest in a pricey gaming monitor? Well, you’re in luck! If you have a laptop lying around, you can easily use it as a monitor for your Xbox Series X|S. Here’s how:
Step 1: Make sure your laptop has an HDMI port.
In order to use your laptop as a monitor, it needs to have an HDMI port. Most modern laptops should have one, but you can check your laptop’s specifications to make sure.
Step 2: Connect your Xbox to your laptop.
Connect your Xbox to your laptop using an HDMI cable. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into your Xbox’s HDMI output port, and the other end into your laptop’s HDMI input port.
Step 3: Change the HDMI input on your laptop.
After connecting the Xbox to the laptop, you need to switch the laptop’s HDMI input to the Xbox. On most laptops, you can do this by pressing the “Windows” key and “P” key at the same time. This should bring up a menu that lets you choose the display option. Select “Duplicate” to display your Xbox screen on your laptop.
Step 4: Adjust the screen settings.
Your Xbox screen might not fit perfectly on your laptop screen initially. To adjust it, go to your Xbox’s Display & Sound settings and select “Video output.” From here, you can change the resolution, aspect ratio, and overscan settings to fit your laptop screen.
Step 5: Enjoy your Xbox on your laptop!
That’s it! You can now play your Xbox Series X|S on your laptop screen. This is perfect for gamers who want a larger screen without spending a lot of money on a dedicated gaming monitor.
