Can I Use the OptiPlex 9030 as an (External) Monitor via HDMI IN?

Hi,

Before I wander off to buy a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI adapter and an HDMI adapter:

Can someone first-hand confirm or disconfirm if the OptiPlex 9030 can be used as an external/second monitor via the HDMI IN (for my MacBook Pro/in general)?

According to ZDNet (on the 9030) it is possible:

"...plug in an external video source (via HDMI)..."

www.zdnet.com/product/dell-optiplex-9030/

According to this forum (but on the 9010) it is not possible:

"...I would like to inform you that both VGA and HDMI ports on the system are TV out connection... you won't be able to use this system as display only for a different system or laptop...."

Is it that the 9010 does not have HDMI IN and the 9030 does have HDMI IN (and hence the 9030) does work as an external monitor?

Thank you in advance for your help!
