Was at bestbuy today and the guy told me that they only had one out of 10 different all in ones, that actually let you output to a tv or monitor via HDMI, and all the others were input only! WTF! Why would companies do this?

Because all-in-ones are aimed at users who intend to plug the thing in and never touch the wires again. Most don't need a secondary display.

just makes no friggin sense. Almost no one wants an input, but EVERYONE wants to hook up to a tv or monitor

Better to browse online than at Best Buy. The only thing you're really missing out on is a close inspection of the looks/build quality and the responsiveness of the touchscreen (if applicable). For those, you can compare a similar model in stores. Shopping online will give you more models to choose from, and probably more configuration options.
