Is it possible to use my laptop for a extra PC monitor without having to disassemble anything?

Asked by XYZZYtja (233points) November 28th, 2011

So I have a desktop PC, but I recently bought a new laptop.

And I was asking myself if it was possible to use the laptop as a extra monitor for my PC. I searched on the internet and found some interesting sites on how to disassemble my laptop monitor so I could use it as an extra monitor. As you’ve read the question this is NOT the thing I would like to do. I simply want to be able to keep my laptop in one single piece BUT still use it as a extra monitor for my PC.

First of all is this possible?
Secondly I don’t want to transfer data from my PC to my laptop, because this is something I already am capable off.

I know some friends who have two monitors with only one PC. But I was wondering if i could use my laptop as one of the monitors.

If someone could leave some feedback, please let me know!
