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).
