I'm looking to run dual monitors. I have a DVI and HDMI output but the monitor I like only has VGA and 2 hdmi. Is there a way I can run a HDMI splitter? Or will that just make both screens show the same thing?
Or if anyone has any recommendations. I'm looking for a frameless style type around 23-25inches spending upwards to around 200 each.
current one im looking at is a AOC i2481FXH

Will the quality still be as good? I could always buy the dvi to vga adapter but would quality change?

For dual setup? I only have one hdmi. So it'll be hdmi to hdmi then dvi with vga connector to vga.

Just get a DVI to HDMI adapter for the other monitor. You will lose some bandwidth, but image will be fine.

Sounds good thank you. I'll check amazon now for a adapter.
