View my laptops hdmi input
Last response: in Laptops & Notebooks
Hello, I have the Dell M17x Alienware laptop with both HDMI out and input ports. (please dont tell me that theres no such thing cause im staring right at them both....) I need to know how to view that HDMI input SOURCE. Basically im trying to hook up my XBOX to my HDMI input but my laptop detects nothing, and I dont see a way to view that source anywhere in the control panel settings. And I have checked the monitor display settings... and nothing..
Thanks for your help![:)]( ":)")

I think you are looking at one HDMI port and one DisplayPort. Both are output only ports. At least that is what I see at the product website:

Seriously, there is only one HDMI port on the system I linked (the one on the left) the other slightly different shaped one is a DP port.
The specs page says HDMITM. That is either a typo (like for trademark) or it could refer to an HDMI port with a capability to handle a longer HDMI cable (like a signal booster/extender capability).
Have you contacted Dell with your question?
BTW, all HDMI ports output both video and audio.

So what exactly are you expecting this to do; stop being a computer and start being a TV?
I'm with COLGeek here, not sure where you are getting the notion that it's an HDMI In, but I'm not finding it.
This: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/M17x/en/m... explicitly calls it an HDMI OUT on pg 12, and no other HDMI ports exist.
