All-in-one monitor

[Allyouneed]

I recently bought an all-in-one monitor & computer (HP 24-ck0000na: https://www.hp.com/gb-en/shop/product.aspx?id=650G3EA&opt=ABU&sel=DTP).  I was a bit disappointed to find that this particular device seems to have no HDMI input functionality, which means that I can never use the monitor for my games console or indeed for anything other than the computer itself.   Could someone confirm that that is the case?  If so, is it normally the case for all-in-one devices? 

If it is the case, I would like to purchase a secondary monitor that looks the same as this one but hasn't got the computer built into the back.  However, I can't seem to find such a product on the website.  Has this particular monitor design ever been sold as anything other than an all-in-one?  It seems unfortunate for all-in-one users who want a dual-screen setup if it is impossible to buy a secondary monitor that looks the same as the first.

@Allyouneed , welcome to the Community.

Q: Could someone confirm that that is the case? If so, is it normally the case for all-in-one devices? 

A: Yes!  The computer only has a HDMI (Out).  Therefore, a monitor can't be connected to it.  This is very common in AIO's.  However, some of the high-end AIO's do have a HDMI (In), as well.

Here are the Motherboard Specifications for the computer.  Look at the section titled "I/O Ports/Rear I/O ports for a list of the ports on the back of the computer.

I am not aware of any monitors that are based on the AIO design.  You may be able to match as close as possible on HP Store.
