The IQ506 has no video inputs of any kind that would feed directly to the LCD panel. You may be able to find a solution that uses the S-Video in on the TV tuner, but you'd have to find software that doesn't buffer the signal with of DVR-like functionality. DVR functionality would introduce a 3-5 second lag, which would make games impossible to play.
Hello. I'm not quite certain if it's possible, but I'm trying to hook up my gaming consoles, preferably my Xbox 360, to my HP Touchsmart (Model IQ506). I've seen many different cable setups, but I'm not sure if they would actually work in my case.
Would anyone have any solutions to this matter? Thanks in advance.

Ah, I see. I was thinking along the lines of using the S-Video input, though I lack the right hardware as well as the software. I've looked a little for each, but I'm not finding many options. Are there any devices or programs that are known to work? Thanks again for the help.

I was able to run my 360 through the S-Video input, but as GeekTieGuy said, there's a definite lag (3-5 seconds) which makes games unplayable. If anyone finds a solution, it would be awesome if you would post it!
