Product: Pavilion 20
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Hi,

the PC is very slow, but the monitor is still good.

Is it possible to connect an external PC and just use the monitor of Pavilion 20?

If the answer is "Yes", how do I connect the external PC'?

Thanks

Hans

The video "path" on an AiO is:

From the Motherboard to a converter board to the display

There is no way for an external connection to get to the display controller

EXCEPT!!!!!

If you have a gaming port - external HDMI in port.
