Here are the detailed steps for each method:

Method 1: How to Connect 2 TVs Together Using Wireless HDMI System?

To use this method, both your TVs must support HDMI input and output. In addition to that, you will require a HDMI Wireless system. That may sound fancy but it’s just two HDMI connectors that can be bought from Amazon or any offline store. You can easily get it for around $100. Once you arrange it, follow these steps: 

Note: Each wireless connector will have a branding of “TX” and ”RX.” TX stands for the transmitter and RX stands for the receiver. 

Step 1: Connect Main TV with the Wireless HDMI System

Insert the Transmitter (TX) into the HDMI-out port of the main TV which will be used to stream and broadcast the content. Once inserted, connect the USB cable (shipped with the package) to the transmitter to turn it on.

Step 2: Connect Second TV with the Wireless HDMI System

Insert the Receiver (RX) into the HDMI-in port of your TV which will be used to duplicate the content that is shared by the main TV. Once inserted, connect the USB cable with the transmitter to turn it on.

Step 3: Change TV Input Source to HDMI

After inserting TX and RX, turn on both TVs and go to Settings > Input Source > HDMI. Ensure that you select the same HDMI port as used on each TV. You can check the labeling below the HDMI port – whether it is HDMI-1, HDMI-in, etc. 

Step 4: Display Same Content on 2 TVs 

After selecting the HDMI as the input source, both TVs will get connected and the content will be duplicated on the second TV. In case it does not happen with you, recheck and ensure you have followed each step. Most users select the incorrect HDMI port in step 3 due to which, the method fails for them.

Therefore, make sure you select the correct input source. After following Step-4, your 2 TVs will get connected Without a Splitter.
