Hi. This might be a dumb or newby question but Im a little confused and searching hasn't yielded any answers tailored to my particular predicament.
I purchased a 25 foot hdmi cable to go from my computer to my tv, I currently already have a 6 foot or so hdmi cable connecting my pc to my monitor (all through gfx card obviously, its a 7870 XFX). So now I have 2 hdmi cables I need to connect to a graphics card with only one hdmi slot. It's obvious probably that I didnt think this one through. I don't want to have to unplug/plug the cables manually everytime I want to switch displays so what do I do?
Purchase some kind of hdmi to something adapter and utilize the other display ports on my card? Get an hdmi splitter (probably not a good option) or what?
(The gfx card has 2 tiny ports, not sure if they're micro hdmi or what they're called but I could get an adapter to switch my hdmi to those connectors right? I'm not sure what these ports are even called though, or if they're the same quality as hdmi)
Thanks for the responses.
