HDMI signal splitter

[StalePie42]

Hello i have a laptop with one HDMI port connected to one 4k monitor and i was wondering if i could use some kind of splitter so i could add a second screen so that i could in total have 3 screens all acting as extensions so that i could say have three different apps open one on each screen does anyone know if that is possible or not 

Thanks in advance

not possible with a hdmi splitter as far as i know.

 

what you *can* use is those usb display out things. i wouldnt game on them, but they're fine enough for some youtube.

The monitor is showing 4K 60Hz or 4K 30Hz?

 

Is there an USB-C with DP alt mode in the laptop?

The laptop only has one Hdmi output

is that available for all usb ports or does it have to be a special use spec ?

there's ones that work in just about any USB situation, with mixed performance results ofcourse.

if it mentions "displaylink" anywhere in the description, it's very likely to work pretty much wherever.
