HDMI-in on all-in-one

jtenos

I have an Acer Aspire AZ3-615-UR1A all-in-one. I'm considering a second desktop computer for my desk, and plug that into the Acer's HDMI-in port so I can use it as the monitor. I can't find any documentation on how this works.

 

When I plug into the HDMI-in, does it shut off the Acer computer? Or is it still running, just with no display? Can I switch back and forth between the Acer computer and the other computer without constantly plugging and unplugging the HDMI cable?

 

Thanks for the insight on this.

Turns out it works fine - there's a button on the side which works the display - it's a little weird because there's only one button, but it's easy enough to figure out. My problem was I tried two perfectly fine HDMI cables, and they didn't register at all - even though they work elsewhere. I happened to find one more laying around the house - AmazonBasics brand which I guess I'll buy again - and it worked.
