Can I use dual monitors with 1 HDMI Port?

I want to go out now and buy a extra monitor for my 1 computer but my graphics card only has 1 HDMI Port. Any possible way I can get around this?

    You can't simply use a splitter - won't work with HDMI. But there are converters available that will go from USB to HDMI to provide a signal for a second monitor. Here's one example:

    There are others - just search [USB to HDMI converter] to find more. Of course, if you have a HDTV you can use that the same way without buying a second monitor.

    Hope this helps... Good luck!

    daisy chaining, although it would be more expensive then to just buy a new videocard
