I have a HP Omni 27-1057c running Windows 7 home.  I have tried to connect several external HDMI devices and pressed the menu button on the right side of the monitor so as to use the PC as a TV, but nothing happens.  No menu pops up allowing me to switch from PC to gaming mode.  My windows updates are current and I have followed the instructions as per the set up guide.  Please help.

I have followed the steps to get the hdmi working, but nothing happens when I press the menu button after plugging in hdmi. Upgraded to windows 8 after purchase.

Hello pchisenhall,

 

Thank you for the updated information on your issue. You stated that nothing happens when you press the Menu button. If indeed nothing happens when you press the Menu button, then I would recommend that you go to the HP Omni 27-1057c Desktop PC Drivers page. Ensure that Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit) is selected and click Next. Then start with the Chipset drivers and install ALL the drivers for your computer. Once that is complete install ALL the applications listed as well.

 

When this is done try pushing the Menu button again and see if there is any response.

 

Please re-post with the results. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
