I want to buy a new laptop I've used samsung phones all my life but I also have an Xbox and often travel places i cannot bring a TV or monitor  I was curious if galxy books could be used as a monitor for something like an Xbox via HDMI because my old laptop  only had an HDMI output which ment it could only send images to something else not display images sent to it via HDMI so if anyone knows the answer id be very grateful and if not possible are there any work arounds

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! @GaryB82 is correct the HDMI port is output only. If you want to play your games you could look into the Xbox cloud gaming service you can use this link to look into it if you prefer. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/cloud-gaming/about-cloud-gaming
