Typing in all caps does not get you help faster

 

You need a VGA Distribution device. Something like this.

Note: this sort of device won't spread your display across multiple monitors, like running multiple monitors in Windows and extending your desktop... all they'll do is send the same thing to both.

That MIGHT work... my experience with that sort of cheap workaround is that they tend to be iffy at best (now that I think about it, I MIGHT have tried something like that many years ago, and found it didn't work at all).

 

You could try it, but I'd be willing to bet the even if it works, it won't be satisfactory; you'll end up needing the active splitter anyway, and will have just wasted the money for that cable.

I've used the cheap vga Y-splitters, they work best on low resolution monitors. And you lose some brightness.
