What Is an HDMI Mini PC?
An HDMI mini PC is a small computer that outputs video through an HDMI port. The HDMI port connects the mini PC to a monitor, TV or display panel. Thinvent mini PCs use this port to drive a screen directly, so no separate graphics card is needed. Buyers use these compact systems for digital signage, kiosks, control panels, point-of-sale screens and office desktops.
