I currently have 2 monitors and only 1 hdmi port. I bought this splitter just to test it, turns out it's a pile of sh*t and wont work.

Anyone got a good, reliable splitter that simply duplicates the screen? Cheers

Splitters wont work... it can only send the single across 1 or the other, not both. Your best option will be to adapt a different port such as Display Port or DVI depending on your graphics card to HDMI.

What you need is something like a 4in-2 out splitter, like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Matrix-Switch-Splitter-FullHD-Control-4KMX42/dp/B01EV3LMBW/

 

It doesn't have to be 4-in, can be whatever you need as long as they make it, and that it supports your resolution required.

You could also try this one  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Splitter-Support-1080P-Blu-Ray-Player/dp/B07P18HBKP/

But can't say what it will be like, no reviews.

What device are you trying to output? A laptop? Desktop PC? Blu-Ray player? PS4?
