    I just received the flex box. I have two TVs and one flex box I’m not into electronics. I read something about HDM1 splitter. That’s what I may need for my second TV .That’s how I ran into you. I like how you explain splitter in the monitors and extension from the computer and connecting the splitter to the TV.

    Thank you for such a thorough explanation; appreciated. This showed me exactly what I needed. I actually need the adaptor rather than the splitter because I'm using 3 monitors on my current PC, but am moving over to another PC that only has two ports for HDMI. You prevented me making a purchasing mistake. But I can see this device coming in very handy at some later point, either for use with CCTV or with TV's in different rooms.

      I use a desktop PC with one monitor because I have one hdmi port.
      So I can use a basic HDMI splitter to Extend my main monitor over to one other monitor? Or will it just duplicate my main? I just want to have a Dual Monitor extended display with using just my One HDMI port, not duplicated.
      Or does the extension only work over Usb c/a ports and not hdmi?
      Because I don’t have Integrated Graphics I can’t output video with the USB ports, so I’m stuck with using my Ome hdmi port on my gpu

    Hey there! Thanks for the detailed review of the Kelio HDMI splitter. It's great to see how it works with both a Blu-ray player and a Surface Pro 7 Plus. The fact that it can duplicate the screen across multiple displays makes it quite versatile for various scenarios, whether it's for business presentations or simply enjoying the same content on different screens at home.
    I appreciate your thorough explanation about resolution compatibility; it's an important point to keep in mind when setting up multiple displays. The affordability of this device, under $20 on Amazon, is definitely a plus.
    Your video demonstrations were helpful in understanding how it functions. Keep up the good work with your channel, and I'll be looking forward to more of your reviews in the future. Have a fantastic day!

      If your computer has two video ports (DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA, Thunderbolt, or DVI), then this should be easily done. Connect monitor #1 to one of the video ports on the computer and connect monitor #2 to another one of the video ports on the computer.
      Next, once booted into Windows, as @unopbacon7697 stated, press Windows Key-P, and then click on Extend.

      @blazeb.9772 2 месяца назад

      PC is much simpler and doesn’t require an aftermarket part to split your screens into two separate pictures. What you need to do is go into your settings and look in the control panel. Some where in those options you will see a picture or screens and it will have two boxes that say 1 and 2. When you activate it, the screen will turn off and immediately turn back on. You will know you’ve done it right when you can click drag an open app or browser to the far left or right of the screen and you will see it slide into your other screen where you can size to fit at your own discretion. It’s been a while since I’ve done it but I hope that helps
