Hey everyone! I just got a gaming PC and I'm trying to figure out how to set up my workspace. I have a total of 3 displays: 2 monitors, each with one HDMI port, and a drawing tablet that also has an HDMI port but can use USB-C (though that doesn't seem to work). My gaming PC only has one HDMI port that actually displays the screen. Here's what I want to accomplish: I need to connect one monitor to an HDMI switch so I can easily swap between my Xbox and the PC, and the other monitor along with the drawing tablet should be exclusively for the PC. Ideally, I want all three screens to work in extended display mode when I'm using the PC. I looked into HDMI splitters, but they just mirror the display instead of extending it. Can anyone help me find a solution for connecting all three screens while still having that HDMI switch for one monitor? Thanks a lot! This is my first PC, so I hope I was clear about everything!

If your PC has Thunderbolt or USB-C ports, consider getting a docking station to add more HDMI ports. They’re usually made for laptops, but they work great with desktops too! Or you could upgrade your GPU to one that has more HDMI outputs.
