“The specs say 1 HDMI output, and HDMI input says, "Yes." Are there separate HDMI input and output ports? Can I use this computer as a monitor for an HDMI laptop sometimes, and at other times, send this computer's output to a TV?”

Hello, Karen. Thanks for your question. Yes, this HP Pavilion 27-ca1244 all-in-one computer has 1 HDMI in port and 1 HDMI out port. The HDMI in port would allow you to connect a laptop to use the all-in-one computer as a monitor. The laptop would need an HDMI port. The HDMI out port would allow you to connect this computer to a TV or monitor that also has an HDMI port. You will be able to extend your display to the TV or monitor with a different screen. In other words, you can use the TV or monitor as a 2nd display. Or you can duplicate (or mirror) your screen to the TV or monitor.
