i dont have an hdmi in button but I have a hdmi plug, im trying use my hp all in one for my Nintendo switch, how do I switch to game mode so I can play on the Nintendo switch
Thank you so much for your work and explanation. I have been so frustrated that my HP All in One has a lot of programs than I don't have on the new computer. I needed to make the Envy a workhorse!!!!
Hands up to HP Pavilion All in One! :D - Just plug the HDMI Cable in and it shows up ASAP ! Doesn't Matter if it 's a Desk-PC or Notebook. It works right away! I'm using mine for testing other devices and also as a Second Monitor. Didn't know that the HP ENVY Model is so complicated to get this done. So anyway... i prefer HP Pavilion All in One. Really good PC and it comes with a dedicated GPU!
When you're using an aio as a monitor for another PC, what happens to the ports on the all-in-one whilst using it as a monitor. Are they unusable or are they detected and available to the PC?
I wonder if you can help me- There is no HDMI button on my Envy but I do have a video capture card that enables me to have an HDMI input. How can I switch my system so that it operates as a monitor only so that I can use my Dell tower instead of the all in one system?
I cannot see any HDMI IN button on mine. when I plugged the HDMI cable nothing happens and my laptop works as a separate machine while my all in one works on it's own. Please see if you could help me. Mine is HP Pavilion 27n105-a.
Do i first remove the harddrive from the all in one pc and then use the hdmi cable beacause i am trying to build a new pc and using my aio as a moniter and it's harddrive as the hdd for the pc build please replay?
@@diymodsnstuff5514hii sir, let me first explain the situation I have a lenovo aio 310 with celeron j3355 and it's too slow so i am trying to build a pc but i don't want to spent the money on moniter and harddrive so i want to know that if i remove the harddrive from the aio and place it into the pc which i am building up and then use the hdmi cable to use my aio as a moniter?
I have the same model. However, when I try to connect my PS4 it won’t even switch to the no cable screen. It doesn’t do anything and stays at the computer screen. I’ve held it for minutes and nothing. Is it because I’m not logged in the computer? If it is how can I?
Do you happen to know how to make it work if the HP all in one is a touch screen capable and have the Dell recognize the touch feature when you extend the Dell the Hp via hdmi?
I'm sorry that you're having this issue. I did the demo on Windows 10. You have to hold down the button for a few moments and make sure the cable is connected to the device from which you want to display on your Envy 23
@@diymodsnstuff5514 Not gonna lie, the AiO monitors have usually the most nice colors, blacks and contrast. That's why I'm looking for videos. So I can buy this one and make it a monitor, is that right? And what do I have to then to make that happen?
Hey, hopefully you'll she this one: I have the HP SPECTRE ONE 23-E000EG. It does not have the button, but the input. Maybe you can help me, I would be very very very thankful. It seems like there's some different way to activate it but I don't know how. Hope you'll answer, thanks in advance!
If you use this as an external monitor and the pc you plugged it into doesn’t have an operating system will it use the operating system from the all-in-one-pc that you will use as a monitor or will I have to get a key for windows for the pc I plugged into the all in one pc?
Mine has a Wifi Adapter installed into my All in One already, but when I do this its not showing that the Wifi Adapter is there, how do I fix this, if there is any way to fix this?
@@diymodsnstuff5514 Lemme make a more detailed thing about what is wrong, because my keyboard doesn't seem to have that type of button, and that my All in One already has a WiFi Adapter built into the All in one itself.. I was hooking up my Desktop into my all in one Monitor, which of course works when I switch it from PC to HDMI (What my Desktop is Hooked up too), now here's the strange part, when I switch to the PC version, that internet seems to be fine. But when I switch to the HDMI AKA the Desktop one I mainly use, it shows up as having no internet, is there any way to fix this, or do I have to go buy a USB WiFi Adapter and plug it into the Desktop?
I know for the HP ENVY 23 has a mini HDMI port on the lower left close to the HDMI port that would potentially allow this. I will test and see if it works for sure.
@@diymodsnstuff5514 so can i not use the all in one as a pc, and connect a monitor TO the all in one, so the all in one acts like a pc and the monitor is like just a regular monitor?
@@faaniq The HDMI port is an HDMI in port. There's a thread on the HP website where this was asked and there's a workaround.

Make sure the device you are connecting it to is powered on and sending a signal via it's HDMI port. Hold the HDMI button for a few seconds on the HP Envy.
@@ogtrapo675 Try different HDMI cables. That worked for me. Also switch the end meaning the end connected to the desktop should be plugged to the All In On and vice versa. I know it sounds silly but this has worked for me as well.

Hi, This will be very helpful to me if I am able to connect my laptop (Dell) to my ENVY 27 all in one touch screen PC. I tried but my laptop cannot detect all in one pc as second monitor but it shows 1|2. I checked my hdmi cable and found it works with other monitor. I would appreciate if you can help me. Thanks a lot in advance.
I've the same problem !! hdmi in dosen't work, should be windows 10 that it dosen't see the hadmi in port, if yuo have same solution we can talk abotut it
Your HP Envy has to boot up to the Windows logon. Once you are there do not logon to Windows. Press and hold the hdmi button for a few seconds and it should work.
Try flipping the cable. Also, don't just press the button, hold it down for a few seconds and see if that works. I usually hold it down for a few seconds until the HP gets the signal from the other device.
I had the same issue and I tried flipping the cable and finally using a better quality cable then it worked. You may want to confirm with another device to see if the cable works.
Wow, thanks so much. Your presentation is thorough, easy to understand and definitely a time and money saver. Great job!

any idea on how to adjust the brightness/contrast etc? the Game Mode screen seems less sharp compared to the original screen...

When I press the button nothing happens help?

i have the same question?
The mouse and keyboard should be connected to the aio or in the other cpu? Please respond thank you!
The other CPU.
I have connected my laptop to my all in one pc, how can i use the same keyboard and mouse for both the machines?
The other machine need it's own keyboard and mouse.
Can i use my all in one pc as monitor
Yes, but it defeats the purpose if you have to logon to the OS just to be able to connect to the HDMI. A flaw on HP's behalf.

It will only display the from the PC you're connecting to. The PC you're connecting to need the Operating System installed for it to work,
