    I have a Dell e1705. I bought it with the TV tuner and it works fine for watching TV. I tried to plug-in my N64 and I realized that there was about two seconds of lag between the N64 and the laptop screen. (It's not my N64, it works fine on my actual TV.) I tried comparing the TV signal on my laptop and TV and the same lag is there. (It shows up on the TV and then a couple seconds later, on the laptop.)

    Is there a way that I can actually plug in my console to my laptop and have it playable?

    Thanks

    Seen this question asked before and from what I remember this is a common issue with TV tuners. Doing a quick search of the forums I turned up a couple of threads that addressed this topic and it seems that playablility with a good number of cards is kind of hit and miss.
