Hello,
My situation is the following: I was using my PC for both gaming and video using a TV. Now I bought myself a monitor and I would like to use the monitor only for gaming while the TV should be connected for movies.
The PC is currently under my desk which is aprox. 5m away from the TV. I was wondering if I should use 2x HDMI cables (a long one to be connected to the TV and a shorter one to be used at my desk for gaming).
Alternatively, would it be a good solution if I buy an HDMI switch? But I am unsure how this would work. Does one HDMI cable from my PC go into the switch and then I would need one for my monitor and another for my TV (total of 3 cables).
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you
