By far the most clear and concise explanation of how to use your laptop as a displaying monitor (as Laptops generally don't come with an HDMI input port). Many thanks, and much appreciated

Is there any input lag? How noticeable? What influences more? The power of the laptop or the PC desktop?

Could I extend my laptop screen and use it as a second monitor with this method?
