Capture cards that let me console game on my laptop

[Niku]

I have a gaming laptop i take places, as well as a wii. I use them both a lot, but some times i think it would be convenient if my M11x functioned as a monitor for my consoles. in the past when i used to try this, i had a lot of lag from controller to action on the screen. would i call that input lag? any way, any one know how i can do the whole monitor is a TV thing (not a DVR) and have it behave as though there no delay between my controller input and what i see and hear? Thanks in advance. also, if its not possible, and you know it, that would be helpful too. It means i would focus on more likely solutions.

Not likely - the lag will drive you nuts. The lag is unavoidable without spending a ton of money on something, and it won't be on your laptop. Easiest to lug another small monitor IMO.

Game mode is now supported. Game mode allows "live" video to be displayed without any video encoding delay. Game mode can be found in Configuration in the Advanced tab.

Ooooh.

It's a Hauppauge though... how do we know it won't crash 4 times a day?
