Can I use my laptop as a monitor with HDMI?

Which laptop has HDMI input?

Laptops generally do not have an HDMI input port; they usually have output HDMI ports to connect to other devices like a TV, projector, and printer. However, some new laptops, like the Apple MacBook Air M1, Acer Predator Helios 30, Dell XPS 13, HP Stream 14, and Samsung 3, all have HDMI input.

How do I know if my laptop has HDMI output?

The HDMI port on a laptop is usually not labeled as input or output. So you won't be able to tell which is an input or output port. You should know that HDMI input ports on laptops are very rare. The thin, rectangular port labeled HDMI is most likely an output port. You can find out better by reading the product manual or visiting the manufacturer's website.
