Question TV + Laptop displays from desktop Pc? Is this possible?

[dferrer]

Hi guys! Hope your doing great!

This is my case,

I have desktop PC connected to a TV via HDMI and works great, I also want connect my laptop to have it as a secondary monitor apart from the TV, my main question is: can I duplicate / extend the display from PC connecting the Laptop to the TV via VGA ?

Summing up would be this:

Desktop PC > HDMI to TV > VGA from TV to Laptop

I can´t afford a monitor in this moment so any explanations if this is possible would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Try connecting laptop to a pc if possible. not sure if pc>Tv>laptop will work.

Simple answer: YOur laptop is output-only device (for video), so the only way to use it as a secondary video display is some software. It will be slow, to start with.
