Hi, I am trying to connect my Xbox One to my all in one desktop via the xbox's HDMI cable, but nothing is showing on the screen/monitor. I have connected the controller but can't see how to view the xbox game/use the monitor as a screen. Any advice would be gratefully received - thank you!!

Hi:

 

The HDMI port your PC has is one directional -- output only.

 

In other words, your PC can connect to a TV or monitor, and you can see what is on your PC's screen, not the other way around.

 

Specs on your PC's motherboard.

 

HP Desktop PCs - Motherboard Specifications, Morales | HP® Customer Support

 

Back I/O ports

  • (1) RJ-45 Ethernet port
  • (1) HDMI 1.4 output port
  • (2) USB 2.0 Type-A ports
  • (1) USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port (5 Gbps signaling rate)
  • (1) Power input port

Thank you so much Paul. That makes sense. 
is there anyway around this at all that you know of? Any other cables I can use? Or are there any other similar models of pc that I could replace this one with? 
Seems I’ve just spent £450 on a pc that I can’t use as I wanted to 😞 

thank you!!

You're very welcome.

 

There would be no way that I know of for you to get your xBox to display on your PC.

 

If there is a way it can be done, I wouldn't have a clue how to do it.

 

Unfortunately, I don't know of any HP all in one PC's that offer bi-directional HDMI or come with a HDMI out port and HDMI in port.

 

I recommend that you start a new topic on that subject.

Thank you so much, again very helpful! I think I’ve found a Dell All in One with both in and output HDMI ports so will investigate further…. Thanks again for you help. 
Kindest regards, Izzy

Anytime, Izzy.

 

Glad to have been of assistance, and I am happy to read you may have been able to find an AIO PC that meets your requirements.

 

My two main desktop PC's are Dell Optiplex business PC's.
