[SOLVED] HDMI Splitter or USB to HDMI?

[koheiKat]

Hey there,

I'm a bit confused and wanted to ask. I have a laptop and I'm trying to extend the display to my monitor and graphics tablet Cintiq 13HD.
I only have 1 HDMI output, and the USB to HDMI I bought isn't the best.

Would I be able to achieve the same result if I simply purchased a HDMI splitter and extended the display to my monitor and graphics tablet?

Thank you for reading

A splitter will no extend the display, it will only mirror them, so you will have the same image on the 2 devices hooked up to the splitter.

I see, thank you for confirming that!

Would you have any suggestions for extending the display given the limitation that I only have 1 HDMI port?

USB C or USB 3 dock or video adapter. However USB 3 will be still pretty slow with video. Unless your laptop has a dedicated docking port then you can use that.
