Z97 with HDMI in

[DatCanadianGuy]

I looking for a motherboard is a z97 chipset with an HDMI in similar to the ASRock Z87 Extreme6 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard, does anyone know of one?

Motherboard: Asus Z97-PRO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($221.98 @ Newegg Canada)

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SOC ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($189.99 @ NCIX)

Motherboard: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($165.96 @ DirectCanada)

Just to name a few.

None of those have hdmi in, those are all out. Afaik there aren't any, it's just an extra cost that no one really uses.

Oh...sorry. I misunderstood the OP question. I was just showing boards with HDMI. Didn't realize the AsRock had a seperate input. Looks like they did away with it though. Never have seen a board with in & out HDMI.

Sorry if I wasn't clear but yes K1114 has the right idea. Sadly I think cball1311 is probably right about doing away with HDMI in on motherboards.

Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Are you trying to do some live HDMI video encoding or something, if you don't mind me asking? Just curious as to what an HDMI in would be useful for as I have never seen this before.

Actually I was planning on running a PS4 through it just to save time and space not needing a 3rd or 4th screen for it

You could just have 2 cables connected to the monitor and switch input on it.

The problem is there is only one HDMI socket on the monitor I have now

 

[cball1311]

You could do something like this. Cheap solution too.

Then use a switch.

The OP wanted a motherboard with an HDMI input. If you look at the ASRock Z87 Extreme 6, you will notice that it has 2 HDMI ports. One is input and one is output. I mentioned that GIGABYTE board too in an earlier post.
