Good evening,
I would like to know how I could connect my desktop unit to my laptop via HDMI to use it as a monitor? (I've connected the computers but the laptop doesn't recognize my tower) Thank you in advance :)

Configuration: acer aspire M1641, nvidia 9300GE, intel pentium dual core inside, 4GB RAM, 640GB, 22'' pw223 (acer) screen, cyborg mouse (saitek), saitek cyborg keyboard, and the world of warcraft mouse pad.

    Hi ninja73

    an HDMI output is not made for that
    it's a video output for a monitor or an HD TV

    a PC does not have an HDMI input

    see you
