Hi
So, I got my hands on two 32" tv screens.
My laptop is an HP Pavillion, 12GB ram with a Nvidia geforce 940m, windows 10
the laptop has only one hdmi output (no dvi or vga output)
so I purchased a two hdmi adapter (1 hdmi to 2 hdmi )
But for some reason..both monitors act as one monitor, the second monitor isn't being detected
unfortunately upgrading the laptop isn't an option
Anything to do? I have read about the USB 3.0 Port Replicator Docking Station, eGPU (not sure if egpu will work on my laptop)
but I don't wanna spend over 150usd without getting results
Help ?

The HDMI slpitter won't work, you ONLY get same output. If you wish to use 3 monitors (2 external monitors plus laptop screen) you need more hardware. Unfortunately that will cost $$$.
