    I have a HPDV6-2173cl with an HDMI port. I will have a cell phone with a HDMI port enabling mirror mode too a TV.

    I need to know if I can mirror out of the phone into my HPDV6-2173cl laptop display via its HDMI port.

    The laptop's HDMI port is output, not input. I dont honestly know of any laptops that would accept external video input, without some sort of tuner or video capture card.

    Good lord! Thanks guys.

    I'll confess. With cell phones coming out with mirror mode I want to display my phone screen on my laptop. This will be like tethering, but not tethering, eh?
