The HDMI port in a laptop or on any device does not have a label for HDMI IN and HDMI OUT. So if you look at the HDMI port and cable, you won’t be able to tell which side is input and which is output. You can find out by reading the product manual or visiting the manufacturer’s website, or using it.
