Graphics Card with one HDMI and one DVI & TV & Monitor with only HDMI - wish to extend displays and connect both - advice

[puthsardarade]

Hi,

My PC's graphics Card with one HDMI and one DVI and the TV & Monitor have only HDMI - I wish to extend displays and connect both.

Previous monitor had DVI so I connected the monitor via DVI, but new monitor has just two HDMI's.

Both TV and Monitor are in the same room, please advise best solution?

I was thinking either a HDMI Splitter or a DVI to HDMI cable for the monitor connection?

Thanks

A HDMI splitter won't work.
You can use a DVI to HDMI cable or a Displayport to HDMI.

Thanks but would a Displayport to HDMI work for me?
My monitor is ViewSonic VX2363SMHL
How would the displayport connections work with this?

Any benefits of displayport to hdmi over dvi to hdmi?

I googled costs and dvi to hdmi appears to be a lot cheaper, I understand it may not transfer sound but the monitor has built in speakers and if I connect the hdmi to the tv I can always output sound there as well?

Thanks

Displayport to HDMI should carry both audio and display signals. DVI to HDMI only carries display signal.
Yes you can output the audio to the TV if you set it to within Window Sound option.

Most modern graphic card should have a Displayport. What's your gpu?
Yes it should work. It just converts the Displayport output from the graphic card to a HDMI input.

My graphics card only has • Connectors: VGA, HDMI, DVI-I
It's listed here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/VTX3D-Graphics-Express-CrossFireX-Technology/dp/B009KSLBPQ

So looks like displayport will not work so I'll go ahead and buy a DVI to HDMI cable from eBay.

Thanks for your help.
