"You would need to use a TV Tuner Card and a compatible TV signal (cable, over-the-air)."
Thanks for your quick response,
Okay, so there is no way to use the laptop's screen as just a screen?
The reason I ask is that I am trying to get the following system in place.. CCTV system > to bluray recorder > to a montitor. However, it looks like the monitor can't cope with the output of the bluray recorder as the screen flickers, therefore I am not able to tune the bluray recorder (as I cant see the output properly) to recieve the CCTV signal.
So i wanted to see if it was a problem with the monitor or something else, and the only other monitor I have available to me is the one on the laptop.
Is there any way I am solve this problem with the equipment I have?
Thanks again?
