Hi there @TWISTEDT,

May the Forums be with you!  I understand that you are looking for help with video connections to your All-in-One computer.  I am happy to assist you with this.

Please post the full product number for your computer. See the following, if you need help with that information.  HP Desktop PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number, Serial Number or Product Number?  Once I have that I can check the specifications and what the system has in terms of hardware.  However if the computer does not have any external graphics ports or HDMI connections, then your only option would be to look at an external USB graphics adapter cable. The type you would want to look at would as much depend on what the external display takes as inputs.

Please let me know when you can.

As an HP rep, I can not make personal recommendations for hardware, but I can help you along the way, with some information.  You could ask one or more of the Forum Experts such as @wb2001 or @Big_Dave if they have some recommendations they can make for a brand, make or model of adapter cable for your purposes.

Something that all of us would need to know is what type of connections are available on the display you want to connect via USB to know what type of adapter is needed such as USB to DVI or USB to HDMI.

If you want to stream video to your wide screen TV via HDMI then I suggest a steaming set top box such as Ruku 4.  With this approach you will need the following:

Internet speed of 50 mbps although 25 mbps would also work depending on your household internet usage.

WIFI router (or an ISP provided modem with WIFI) with 802.11ac and optional ethernet ports

Ruku 4 (this box will handle resolutions up to 4K)

ISP modem ---> WIFI router -----> ethernet to Roku 4 ---> HDMI to TV

or

ISP modem ---> WIFI router -----> WIFI to Roku 4 ----> HDMI to TV

If you need XBOX streaming then contact XBOX.

There are other set top boxes available for streaming video depending on your content requirements.
