I've been using two for awhile, one connected via HDMI and the other via VGA. I just got another HD monitor and just realized my computer only has one HDMI input.

I see I can get an HDMI splitter to make it work. However, I'm reading that can diminish the quality on both. What would I need to look at to make sure that won't be the case?

Also, any recs on brands/models of splitters?

One hdmi output you mean?

A splitter isn't going to give you two outputs unless you want both monitors to give identical outputs.

You need a vga to hdmi cable or adapter.

Yes

And yeah, definitely don't want identical outputs. I want an extended display.

So it sounds like my only option is an VGA to HDMI adapter?

HDMI Monitor > Adapter > VGA Output

Would the display be better using that than if I just used the VGA output/input? How could I check that?
