Ive already been told than an HDMI splitter will only duplicate the screen on both TV's. Does anyone know how i can get an extended view set up?

Also I want to use the aster multiseat software so i can have the above and also add another user attached to the motherboard hdmi this second user will only have 1 TV.

 

Can you please tell me the hardware i need to buy too make this possible, be as dtailed as you can so i can follow. Thanks

you want to extend your desktop across a second monitor? just plug the second monitor to the GPU as well and do windows+p for the "extension mode"?

You're already using the HDMI port of the GPU thats it? and your TV's only accept HDMI? a splitter does mimic the signal so it won't work what you need is a Display Port to HDMI or DVI-D to HDMI cable to use the other ports of your GPU to connect to the HDMI port of your TV.

plug in more screens?

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Just connect both displays to your graphics card.

 

If you don't have the right ports, use an adapter.
