Hello,

I have an Xbox 360 outputting a VGA signal. Currently, it is plugged into a switch and sharing a standard aspect ratio flatscreen monitor with my PC. While the setup works pretty well, I've been tempted to swap out my monitor for a cheap 19-inch widescreen monitor. However, it occured to me that my laptop (a Toshiba M35X-S161) has a widescreen monitor that I could use. My laptop does not have a VGA input, but it does have USB 2.0 ports, a firewire port, and a PCMCIA port.

Does anyone know of a card (cheaper than the linked monitor) that accepts a VGA input that would allow me to use my laptop as my 360 monitor?
