Can I use my laptop's screen as a monitor for my desktop?
In general sense, no. The laptop GPU typically has two or three outputs. One of them is connected to the built-in screen. The remaining ones are VGA/HDMI/DisplayPort outputs for additional external monitors. Since they’re outputs, not inputs, and since they’re connected to the GPU (not straight to the internal display panel!), there’s no way to use them to drive the internal LCD panel from an external signal source.However, if you’re willing to repurpose an old (maybe broken) laptop and not afraid of doing some hardware hacking on it, there are actually adapters which will convert HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort signals into LVDS signal – the signal type most often accepted by the internal laptop panels (that is, bare LCD panels.) See here for some examples:LVDS HDMI: Computers/Tablets & Networking | eBayThe catch here is that you would need to disassemble your laptop, disconnect the LVDS cable from the laptop’s motherboard, and connect it to the adapter, instead. Also, whether or not you’re powering on the laptop motherboard, the display panel still needs to get its power from somewhere…
Is it possible to use your laptop as a monitor for HDMI output?
I know this is an old post and OPs laptop is likely sitting in a pile of obsolete electronics but I thought I'd add my two cents for anyone who stumbles in here.OP asked about outputting HDMI to the laptop screen - I assume the aim was for the best resolution... I agree with the other answers I've seen here.However - I want to mention this neat trick which is now available and wasn't an option at the time of the post. It won't get you true HDMI but it might come in handy:[I am assuming you are outputting from a Windows-based PC...]1•Use the Settings in Windows to "add another monitor" - you'll have to find the option to "add a monitor that hasn't been detected by the scan" and it will do a more "aggressive" search and still not find one. Even though it doesn't find one, there should be an option along the lines of "Trust me, it's there. Add it." - Windows will then give you an "Are you sure?" message, confirm it. You should now be able to move your mouse pointer off your main monitor and onto your absent monitor (which you obviously can't see anything of.)2•Install Teamviewer on your PC and and your laptop (which should not be connected to PC by any video cords). Now use Teamviewer from your laptop to connect to your PC and view what is on the extra monitor. The quality isn't HMDI but it can transmit the visuals in a decent manner. You'll also have to maintain the connection constantly in Teamviewer to maintain this ... so it does hog bandwidth a little bit. On the upside, you can give yourself more distance between the screens because they aren't connected via wires.Assuming you don't get any technical snag-ups, it's a pretty quick and easy setup ... about 10-20 mins. While you're at it, I recommend you install Teamviewer on your phone/tablet so you can manipulate your computer(s) when you're out and about - it's pretty convenient to be able to play decent single player games on an android tablet/smartphone or snag files on the fly. Hope this is helpful to someone :D
How do I connect a CCTV camera to a mobile phone?
Its quite easy to handle just connect your smart phone to wifi and go to playstore and download whatever app your company (CCTV camera manufacturer) offer and change the following settings.change network to WifiIP & Port: some addressID: your idPassword: ******and click on enter to login and we are good to go.Also i would suggest that all these problems are result of acquiring services from non reputable companies. Recently i installed CCTV cameras for my Home safety and they gave me satisfactory services. Not only they integrated my CCTV cameras in my phone for screening but also they gave me a good presentation about how to operate. For further details about CCTV cameras visit the link below:Security Cameras | home security camera systems
How does the B&H Photo and Video "Bill Me Later" plan work?
You are not searching good enough. There is plenty of information with all the details of the plan. There will be a little "Bill Me Later" in blue or a "Details" to click on somewhere, but it IS there. I know because I have seen it and read it. The other answer said the 6 month same as cash thing ended on 3/31. I have to question that, unless the plan has changed drastically since I used it. When I used it, (about 3 years ago I suppose, I had the 6 months to pay interest free. Now, if you do not pay in full by the end of the 6 months, then you are hit with high interest rates for those 6 months plus any time period following that you use to pay off the debt. I found it a good way to pay for something that was maybe just a little out of reach to pay for all at once, but when stretched out over six months, it worked out well for me. Just be SURE you do pay it off within the six months or you are going to owe a small fortune in interest. If, however, the 6 month interest free plan is no more, than I suggest you NOT use the plan at the high interest rate. Keep saving your money or get a loan somewhere else at much better rates. But again, there IS plenty of detail about the plan there. You just have not found it yet. steve
How do I mirror my Android's screen to my TV without a HDMI cable?
If your Android device is higher than 4.0, then if you you have a TV, Blu-ray player or Console that supports Screen Mirroring, you can use Wifi Direct to mirror it to your bigger screen. Since the screen mirroring protocol is different for each receiver, then you will need to read the documentation for it. These can usually be found on the website of the device manufacturer.
