I have an HP pavillion HDX 9300 and I am trying to use the monitor to play an xbox 360. My laptop has an HDMI port, we bought the HDMI cable and so it should work…I think. So far its not working. Any suggestions? Can it even be done? Thanks!

99% of the laptop has out only HDMI and VGA ports. and ur laptop has output only ports so u cant use it as monitor. there is no way u can use it as monitor.
U may use TV tuner card and connect the xbox 360 to it but the quality of the video will decrease. So dont use it.
yes if the laptop has a serial port on the back, also you need a cable thaat goes from the red,yelow and white and changes it to a serial port.
You cant hook up an xbox 360 to a laptop.
The HDMI port that is on your laptop is for OUTPUT ONLY. So for example, you could hook up a projector to it, to OUTPUT the data to the projector.
You can however hook up an xbox 360 with a deskop monitor. All you have to do is buy the xbox 360 VGA cable, and hook that up from your xbox to the monitor.
