Yeah, too bad your MacBook Pro doesn't allow HDMI in.

Wait does that mean I can use my laptop's screen as a hdmi screen?
HDMI ports can work that way, if the software is in place to support that kind of functionality. However piracy concerns or laziness seem to have trumped that option on the market today.

Yes you should be able to, but no you probably can't

A very small number of laptops can do that, but mostly the answer is "no".
