Use hdmi input as output?

[adavis2011]

Hey all. I have a Dell Inspiron All-in-One desktop and it has an HDMI input port, but no output port. I was wondering if there was anyway to connect my computer to my television via HDMI so that I can extend my computer monitor's display to the television screen.

..desktop and it has an HDMI input port, but no output port.

I always wanted to have a HDMI input port! But isnt that unlogical to have a input port into a desktop computer? Are you sure its no output? I mean, wouldnt you wonder a TV to have HDMI output? (except that in a TV that is useful for some people who want to record stuff. in a computer theres software...)

naw, its an input.

its an all in one system, they assume you are using the screen that its built into. strange, i know.

no, i really dont think u can use an input as an output.
