  1. HDMI Multiple Monitors Vexation


    I am developing a multiple monitor system. My computer has a single HDMI port so I will need to purchase a splitter of some sorts. I have become lost in all the jargon, technical specifications, and the wide range of prices.


    Here is my rough outline: one to three additional monitors with each having the capability of independent rotation between Portrait and Landscape; independent zoom; maximum resolution for fine print text; and last but not least, I wish to place independent content on each, not just replicate the content on one multiple times.

    Thanks for any suggestions and recommendations.

    :)

    1. Do you want to have multiple monitors displaying different desktops?
    2. Or do you want all the monitors to display the same desktop?

    If you have only one HDMI port then you can accomplish item 2, but not item.

    Are you sure you have an HDMI port and not a Display Port?
    Can you provide the make and model of your computer?

    HDMI Multiple Monitors Vexation

    Right now I have two monitors an HP and one that I picked up at Walmart reently. Both have HDMI ports. I can only use one at a time through HDMI. That is what started me on this track.

    I think the HP has a separate Display Port but I will need to look it is important. The Walmart monitor only has the HDMI port. Both have VGA ports.

    I am guessing that what I want to do is display facets of one Desktop from one computer. Example say two versions of a word-processing document, with maybe the news on a third, or a stock trading program with multiple pages within a platform.

    I would like to to add at least one if not two more monitors.

    Here the data you asked for. HP VH240a 23.8-inch Full HD 1080p IPS LED Monitor with Built-in Speakers and VESA Mounting, Rotating Portrait & Landscape, Tilt, and HDMI & VGA Ports (1KL30AA) - Black


    Walmart Monitor Onn. VGA HDMI 60hz FHD Slim Design Monitor, 1080p, 24"


    HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p0xx DESKTOP-H92FAF8 x64-based PC

    By "Desktop" I take you are meaning one instance of Window 10? As opposed to two desktops one for Windows and one for Linux, for example?
