Most laptops are video out only, so probably not.

No, usually the SVGA connector for a laptop is for output only, not input. Your best bet would be to buy a used CRT. (a non-flat panel) Try ITXchange.com That would be the cheapest. Personally, I would avoid a CRT at all costs. Check craigslist too for used monitors.
