Monitor

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if is possible to use my Inspiron 8600 laptop screen as a monitor for a desktop PC?

And is there a cheap way to connect more than one external monitor to my laptop?

Thanks

Daniel

    Why would you want to use a laptop LCD as a desktop monitor?

    I know people use desktop monitors as monitors for their laptops, but what you want to do is kind of different.

    Because I have a computer at work, but due to severe lack of space the desktop monitor is about 1.5 ft higher than my eye level and im sick of having to creek my neck up to see the monitor.

    Thanks for the replys all the same tho.
