Hi guys,

I'm currently dual boxing an mmo with two computers. 1 is a desktop and the other is a laptop and both are plugged in through separate hdmi cables to a sony bravia kdl55hx850.
80% of the laptop's screen is wrecked, so i'm trying to get both computer on screen at the same time using the PIP option (having the laptop as the smaller screen).

Now the input options for PIP are limited to TV and AV1 (which is a SCART plug), no hdmi.
1) I do not have a hdmi-SCART converter, but actually that would be my 1st question, would getting one solve my problems?
2) I do think it will be hard to get a hand on such a converter where I am. Is there anyway to stream the laptop's screen feed to the TV and see it in PIP? I'm pretty sure there's a built in wireless receiver in the tv.

Desktop's specs: i5-3570k; z77-DS3H; gtx780ti 3gb.

Laptop's specs: i7-3630QM; Portable pc mainboard; gtx 670M 3gb.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Well. just posting this in case someone looks for an answer.
Did not get a hdmi to SCART cable although i did my best, ordering from the internet would be no trouble though and this setup could most probably work, a way to be sure would be to have an hdmi to SCART feed converter (female-female) so that there is no issues with the data transmitted to the tv.
On the other hand, I did found a much better solution for a second screen, grabbed an ipad i have and just got an app that allowed streaming video feed from the laptop to the ipad, wirelessly. It does it with almost no latency and since this screen just displays a character that follows the other character's commands, its not really necessary to have good quality or good latency on the 2nd screen (the latency is barely noticeable though).

cheers!
