Hello, I would like to buy a second monitor, but my graphics card (amd radeon r9 200 series) has only one HDMI output, so I have a question if I buy an HDMI splitter for two HDMI and connect two monitors to it, will it work?

It will work, but why a splitter, if the card has DVI, so you can connect a second monitor to this cable?

Yes, and display the same on both so what's the point? After all, the card also has other connectors for connecting a monitor!

As for the HDMI splitter, it is not a voltage splitter. I once bought an HDMI splitter on Allegro to divide the image from DVD Blu-ray from the HDMI socket into 2 TVs with HDMI input. The effect was that the image was once on 1 TV or 2 TV, depending on which one I turned on first. I have never had two TV sets at the same time. I returned the splitter to the seller. If someone checked such a simple splitter and everything was ok, please confirm.

Maybe it's not timely, but on the example of the old NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT graphics card, I use 1 monitor via VGA and 2 via a DVI to VGA adapter. My work is so comfortable that I have different tabs or different browsers on both monitors. I have a preview on 1 and a project on 2. I can move cards from 1 monitor to 2. HDMI splitter I don't need anything here.
