can i connect my iphone 4s to a laptop just to use the screen to watch movies?

Through the use of various adapters, one can connect an iPhone 4s to a monitor or a TV. Using a laptop directly as a monitor is normally not an option, but there may be special solutions (involving hardware and/or software) depending on the type of computer. So, could you post back with the laptop model and its operating system?

Extra hardware (for example, an iPhone composite cable combined with some kind of USB TV card with the corresponding analogue input) could possibly be one way. Software receivers like Reflector or AirServer appear to be available for use with a Windows 7 computer, but I do not know enough about these to give any advice. So, you may want to carry out some experiments.
