@john1415,

Welcome to the Lenovo HP Community forum!

Somehow you strayed into HP territory, but what the heck, let's see what I can do for you.

Your Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3 24IAP7 is an all-in-one (AIO) PC, and most AIOs have HDMI-out (for connecting an external monitor) rather than HDMI-in (for using the AIO as a display). This means you likely cannot use it as a monitor for your Xbox One S.

How to Check if HDMI-in is Supported:

1. Look at the HDMI port label

   • If it says HDMI-out, the port is output only, and you cannot use it as a display for the Xbox.

   • If it says HDMI-in, you can switch to it using the steps below.

2. Check Lenovo’s Specifications

   • Go to Lenovo’s official website and check if the 24IAP7 model supports HDMI-in.

   • As of now -or at least as I understand it, most IdeaCentre AIO 3 models do NOT have HDMI-in, meaning it cannot be used as a display for external devices.

 

If HDMI-in is Supported:

1. Connect the Xbox One S to the HDMI-in port.

2. Press the Source or Mode button (on the bottom or side of the AIO) to switch to HDMI input mode.

3. The Xbox display should appear.

 

Alternative Solutions if HDMI-in is NOT Available:

• Use a Video Capture Card

  • Buy a USB HDMI capture card (e.g., Elgato, Mirabox) and connect the Xbox through the capture card to the AIO.

  • Open a streaming app (e.g., OBS, Xbox app) to view the Xbox display.

• Use Xbox Cloud Gaming or Remote Play

  • If you got fast internet, you can stream Xbox games to your PC via the Xbox app (Remote Play) or Xbox Cloud Gaming.

 

Final Answer:

The Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3 24IAP7 most likely does NOT support HDMI-in, so it cannot be used as a monitor for the Xbox One S. You should check the HDMI port label and Lenovo's specs to confirm. If not supported, alternatives include a capture card or Xbox Remote Play.
