I'm looking for an HDMI splitter that will allow me to have two different displays connected—one for watching TV or YouTube and the other for gaming. Is there a good option out there, or are there alternative solutions? Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, HDMI splitters usually only mirror the same image on both screens, so you won't be able to have two separate displays like you're hoping for.
If you're looking for something budget-friendly, good luck finding a modern splitter that does that. Most will just show the same picture on both screens. You might need to look for different options if you want unique content on each display.
Nope, that won't work with a standard HDMI splitter!
Have you checked if you have a DisplayPort connection available? If you do, using a DisplayPort cable could save you some headaches and be a more straightforward solution.
So, how would I achieve that if splitters don't work? I've heard that using two graphics cards does the trick.
