Hello,
I treated myself to a graphic tablet with a screen, so I need to connect it via HDMI. However, here's the problem: I have a desktop PC with a monitor already connected via HDMI, and I only have one HDMI port on my PC.
What equipment do you recommend to solve this issue?
I've already scoured Amazon and purchased two products (HDMI splitter) that did not work, so if you even have direct links to products, that would be a big help.
Thank you,
Mah.

I suppose you want to connect your graphic tablet to display the image on the PC. It's important to know that HDMI ports have a direction. The connection can only be made in the direction from output to input. However, the HDMI ports on graphics cards are only outputs. Output to output doesn’t work with HDMI. Therefore, you cannot, in principle, connect your tablet to your PC via HDMI. In principle, this type of device is connected to a PC via USB ports, which work in both directions.
What are the brand and model of your graphic tablet?

Hi,
If I ask you which wheel I should take for my vehicle... what are you going to answer with such little information?
We would need more information about your PC to be able to answer...

For the brand, I think it is Hélios. I can't find the model, but it's a gaming PC to begin with.
In terms of processor, it's an Intel Core i5.
For the graphics card, it's an NVidia GeForce GTX 960.
My tablet is a Gaomon PD1161.
The PC is not very young anymore; it must be between 3 and 5 years old (probably more than 5).

But the problem doesn't come from that; if I unplug my screen to connect the tablet, everything works. It's just that I would like to be able to use my PC screen and my tablet at the same time.

You could insert an HDMI splitter that would allow you to display the same image from your PC on your screen and your tablet, like this one:
