There are several VNC clients and viewers on the Google Play store. Also
RDP (Remote Desktop) and Teamviewer.
I think the OP meant using the tablet like an actual monitor (e.g.
multidisplay off the OP's video card).
As far as I know that's not possible. The HDMI port on the tablet is
an output only. The tablet is essentially a laptop, and that port is
its auxiliary display port (use it to connect to your TV or some other
HDMI monitor).
