Does anyone know if it is possible to input the VGA display from a PC to an iBook's display? Basically, to just use the monitor portion of an iBook to display another computer's video? I have an iBook and a PC, but am considering bringing my PC monitor to work permanently.

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware, this is impossible on an iBook.
Macbook Pro 15" Rev: Feb08
iPhone & iPod Touch
20" iMac G5, Mac Mini G4 and an iBook G4, all retired.

No. You can use VNC to achieve the same result, although it has more lag.
