    I have an Acer notebook with an HDMI port. I have used it to output ideo to an external display. Can the HDMI portalso be used to display video from an external source on the notebook display?

    I dont think you can do that in a laptop as far as i know. Even if it was meant for it, your drivers/graphics card have to support it.
