What Cable Connector do i need?
« on: October 06, 2019, 01:42:45 PM »
I want to add a third desktop screen but my computer only has one display and one HDMI port. My third screen is also HDMI. what adapter do i need? should i get a HDMI-to-USB or HDMI Splitter?

tech is not my strong suit and even the salesman at staples was confusing me. TIA

bonus points for a link to the product so i can order it ;)

You should really post in computer help master thread, but a splitter will just duplicate your screen, HDMI to USB will create a new monitor

Another option would be to add a graphics card to your PC
