FUERANDummy Plug Headless Ghost Display Emulator DDC EDID Emulator Fake Display 4K HDMI-compatible@60Hz-6Pack

For those of you not familiar with exactly what this is, this basically fools your PC or GPU that a monitor is plugged in when it isn’t. Now why would anyone want to do that? Well… my home theatre PC would outright not boot plugged into my TV (kinda important) but confusingly worked perfectly when I switched to a normal monitor using DVI or Display port or EVEN… HDMI, tested the cable, seems fine a laptop displays no problem… so after consulting with friends that know more about HTPC setups they suggested it may have been an AMD driver update that’s screwed up the handshake bit of HDCP (the encryption the HDMI uses, cheers Sony) why this stops a PC from booting is beyond me. However, it was detecting this what I am calling a HDMI butt plug as the primary display (TV was blank). I had to remote to the PC and set it to clone the output to the TV and hay presto I can see my HTPC again without the nonsense of the mouse randomly disappearing off one side. Also when remoting to this PC it means it will ALWAYS now be 1080p instead of reverting to a lower resolution good for if this is being used on a remote server I suppose. PS, Dear AMD\Sony I should not have to BUY one of these!

Proper posh little ghost plug, perfect for fooling your mother board into thinking you have a monitor connected, no installation required just plug and play works for me without issue so I'm very happy with my purchase.Please take a second to hit the helpful button it makes taking the time to write the review worthwhile x.

Used for a mini PC that only requires indirect access. It has always been disconnected from monitors as for the most part it is unattended, but after an update remote management services (Teamviewer, Anydesk) stopped displaying it properly unless it was connected to a monitor which was rather counterintuitive.This worked straight away and has been working just fine for almost a year now!

This little device saved me no small amount of frustration with a lagging mouse cursor and keyboard when connecting to a remote PC.I'm a Linux noob but decided to install it on a spare PC that was going to run as a networked device without a monitor, using TeamViewer to access the desktop as required. After installing the OS and setting-up TeamViewer, it was working perfectly until the moment I decided to remove the monitor and move the Linux PC to its proper location. Upon rebooting, TeamViewer lagged awfully - both mouse and keyboard.Google was full of answers, but none worked for me.By chance, I came across a post saying that the problem could be occurring because there was no monitor attached to the remote PC, what with TeamViewer requiring some form of output from the graphic card to work properly.I saw this virtual display adaptor on Amazon and thought that I would give it a go. It worked perfectly! Very much worth the small price I paid.

Wanted this to be able to trick the computer that their are two screens so I could chrome cast a second screen to the tv. Brilliant product and really well made.

Works well. Running a headless machine as a Plex Server and wanted to use Intel Quicksync acceleration. Seems to only work if the machine is left at the desktop with a monitor connected. This little gadget does that job well.

I purchased this so that I can use Nvidia Gamestream to render games on my PC and play them on my TV through an Nvidia Shield TV. I had to leave my monitor on before in order to get Gamestream working, which is a waste of electricity and just annoying. With this dummy, I can leave my monitor off and Gamestream works great, supporting 4K 60fps. Shows up in windows as "Mi TV".

I was under the impression you could connect a wire to the other end so you could keep the graphics card thinking there was something there while the monitor was off to prevent the OS from screwing up your desktop due to reverting resolutions when monitor off and it thinking it was disconnected
