4HDMI-In Port (with MSI Instant Display Technology)
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an all-digital audio/video
interface capable of transmitting uncompressed streams. HDMI supports
all TV format, including standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus
multi-channel digital audio on a single cable.
With MSI Instant Display Technology, when you connect power to the AIO PC
successfully, the monitor will automatically enter “standby” mode without
pressing the power button. When devices are connected to the HDMI-in
port, the monitor will be turned on immediately. You can also switch the
modes through the Monitor Power/ Mode Button on the side panel if you
have already turned on your AIO PC. This technology helps to save more
energy for your system.
