Not as a full monitor. But if you are running Linux on the Laptop. You can set the DISPLAY of any application you wish from the laptop to display on the monitor.
You would need both the laptop and monitor to be networked either wifi or blue tooth.
Then set the 770 or n800 such that when you launch certain apps it ssh -X -e s into the Laptop and runs on the laptop.
-e will select the program you wish to run -X will tunnel its output back to the device.
I do similar things with my linux boxes at home all the time. It is just a matter of getting the devices networked efficiently. You can then run wine or vmware on the laptop and do the same with windows apps etc
