Your Laptop needs a HDMI IN slot. (not an out slot). to be able to be used.

@Venom951 Search around the laptop, chances are if you haven't seen anything yet, you don't have a HDMI slot.

Unless you buy a capture card, you can't

Are you in high school or college? I went through this same debacle back when I first went to college.

To be straight, there is no cheap way to do this. You will be better off getting a monitor for under $150. It will be cheaper and also give you better image quality. Make sure its 1080p and has atleast one HDMI port.

My apologies for the late reply, when I responded to your questions yesterday it was 3am, so I went to bed. Ok so you have a HDMI port which is good, but I don't believe it's HDMI in. Laptops usually only have HDMI/VGA out which means it will only send signals and not receive signals. Like someone else mentioned, you'll need a capture card if you wish for this to work.

I have an El Gato game capture HD but it's got such a bad lag it's unusable for this situation. Before that, I used a Game Capture HD (component) and it worked.
