I think ang may control ay ang PC. Meaning, kung ano ang settings na resolution sa PC mo, yun ang ididisplay sa monitor, regardless kung ano mang resolution ng monitor mo.

Let's say, 1080p ang settings mo sa PC, pero ang tv mo naka 720 lang, most likely hindi magiging buo ang display. So I think, magkakaprob ka kung mas malaki ang resolution mo sa PC tapos yung isang monitor mo hindi kaya yung ganong resolution. So the only solution is to go for the lower resolution monitor settings, i.e. 720.

I assume it will behave the same way as doing a dual display from your laptop (e.g. laptop LCD, and projector).  When you do this sa laptop, it will take the lower resolution, and use that for both displays (so normally, yung laptop LCD is shown at a lower resolution).

Again, assumption lang 'to, as I don't have experience on HDMI splitters.

If this assumption is correct, then it will mean na 2-way siya.  It uses the lowest resolution of all displays.
