Hello will the computer be able to detect 2 monitors with a HDMI splitter of some sort?

I need it to run 2 monitors. both actively as usual. where you can run the mouse from monitor 1 to monitor 2.

Thanks. I appreciate if you could link to some decent splitter(s) to use for that if its possible. cheers.

Sadly no.

If you use a splitter you will end up with two monitors displaying the same thing. You can use a different cable if your graphics card and monitor support it (VGA, DVI for example).

as long as you have more than 1 video output port on your pc you can just buy an adaptor e.g. dvi to hdmi and that way you can run 2 monitors.
