I'm working on setting up a second monitor and facing several problems. Yesterday I received the second screen, but today I attempted to connect both to my PC without success. I used an HDMI splitter cable so they could both link to the graphics card, and they connected, yet the computer didn't recognize them as separate displays. When I tried booting with both monitors already connected, nothing appeared until I removed the splitter and connected just one monitor. I searched online for help but kept seeing unrelated solutions or being told to adjust display settings manually.

Use two GPU ports to display separate content. Since each port sends only one signal, you’re just repeating the video across two monitors.
