How to use my laptop as a monitor for my Xbox 360?

Is it possible to use my laptop's monitor to play Xbox 360 on?

• It's a Dell Inspiron 1545 and it has VGA input. I tried plugging in the VGA cable from the Xbox to the laptop, and what happens is that the computer plays the "new hardware detected" sound and the screen changes resolution - then goes back to normal after a few seconds, then that sequence repeats until I take the VGA cable out. Any ideas?
