I've an HDMI port on my Windows laptop. I often use it as an output port connected to a TV. I need to do the opposite. I would like to know if it´s possible to connect an other hardware (this one send the video through its own HDMI port) on my laptop port in order to use my laptop screen as à display?

  • This question appears to be off-topic because it is about hardware connections. – Remo.D Feb 07 '14 at 12:55
  • @Remo.D on which StackExchange forum can I ask? – Fractaliste Feb 07 '14 at 12:59
  • @fractaliste usually i would post you the link to the hardware stack exchange. BUT for that what you want to do you better ask some Electrical Engineering guys here: http://electronics.stackexchange.com/ and i wish you best of luck ;) – CodeFanatic Feb 07 '14 at 13:01
  • I'm sorry I'm not sure which one is most suited but SE is for programming questions. – Remo.D Feb 07 '14 at 13:06

The short answer is NO. The LCD on a notebook/laptop can't be accessed with the system's on-board HDMI port. The HDMI port on the notebook/laptop is an output port, not an input port.

  • Thanks for your answers. I got more information about it and most of video cards have only HDMI input. Only some very specifics one's provides it. – Fractaliste Feb 08 '14 at 14:24
