We are going to a family house in the country, where there is no proper TV screen/display to connect a PS 4 to. Can I use my MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018; 2,3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5) as a display for the PS4? As I have on usb-c ports, would and hdmi-to-usb-c adapter work? (i am new to this)

thanks for looking into this.
