Can I use the HDMI connector as input on a LAPTOP?

Hello does that work (e.g. To connect a PS4 or similar)

No.

How so? Is it the same connector? 🧐

It is an exit, not an entrance.

Can't you.

The assignment is unfortunately different for the output than for the input.

No, the laptop's HDMI output is on the graphics card. And that is only responsible for the output of image signals (and sound). You would need a separate capture card for the entrance.

Moin ^^,

the previous speaker was very brief, but hit the nail on the head…

HDMI on a PC can normally only be used as an output, because if I remember correctly HDMI does not use software to decide whether it is an input / output, but via a board or controller… Accordingly, HDMI in the basic version can only do one (input or output) … USB Type C can be, for example, an input and output as well as a charger and charging consumer, since almost everything is software controlled there…

Of course, it also depends on the connection, for example, a graphics card can only give an image outside or, if necessary, tunnels…

However, there's a possibility to use your PC as a screen… The program is called spacedesk and uses the home network connection (WLAN or Ethernet (RJ45) or ugs. Also called "LAN"…) to transfer the display of another computer or Android smartphone

First of all thanks to remote play or so I came but you need very good internet if you don't want to sit in front of a tube TV…

It is not just the plug that counts, but that the right thing is done with the signals. If you send a letter, you can't throw it in the letter box, but in the letter box from the neighbor - but he will certainly not deliver it for you, but throw it away, knock it on your ears, etc!

No, that's actually not true… You really only need your active Wi-Fi connection, you do not enter "real" Internet, you are only in your local network and even if you only use Wi-Fi, the 54mBit was enough… I use it for me relatively often to create temporary terminals… I can easily mirror Uach yt videos into my bathroom via Wi-Fi using Spacedesk…

Yes, either way I have a loss of quality…

But in America letters are taken in the mailboxkasten

Then we adapt the example very quickly and assume that your neighbor has his mailbox in the front door. Ätsch! :-P
