HDMI splitter doesn't work with PC monitor

[MidoBan]

Hi guys, i just got this HDMI splitter to connect my laptop to both the PC monitor and TV. The thing is that my PC monitor doesn't have an HDMI input, so i use an HDMI to DVI adapter like this. The problem is that the PC monitor says "no signal", i figure it's got something to do with the HDMI to DVI adapter? what can i do?

This is how it's set up:

Thanks!

Are both displays using the same display resolution and refresh rate?

Yes, but i don't think it's related, because even when only the PC monitor is connected through the splitter (without the TV), it still doesn't work.

Does the monitor work when the HDMI-to-DVI adapter is plugged directly into the laptop's HDMI port?

Indeed.

Indeed.

So the problem is with the HDMI splitter.

Ok but now how come it works perfectly with the TV screen, no matter if it's on output 1 or 2 on the HDMI splitter?

Anyhow, sadly i think that it's just not suitable for my specific PC monitor, or to the combination with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter. Probably has something to do with the communication protocol of HDMI between the devices.

Although if someone still has some hail Mary move up their sleeve i'll be happy to hear about it..

peace

If the output video signal from the splitter is too low the monitor may not detect that it is being dent a video signal.

The TV may not be as picky with a lower level video signal.
