Questions & Answers

Can I connect one of my attached video cards to my motherboard's hdmi port despite the fact that my motherboard lacks an hdmi video port?

Yes, it can be used with any of the currently active graphics cards. I use for my headless mining rigs so that I can get good resolution in team viewer.

Is this capable of 4K 60hz? Is it also capable of 1440p at 120hz? I have another headless monitor that claims to support 4k 60hz, but I'm not sure if that means 4k or 60hz. ?

I have a strong suspicion that it does because these are older models. I'm pretty sure it supports 1080p and 720p at 60 Hz. I intended for these to be used in mining. As a result, there's no need to test them at a higher resolution.

Does it support a resolution of 3440 x 1440?

Nope. Even when I held down the OPTION key and selected Scaled, it was not an available resolution on my Mac.

Is HDR possible with this?

There is no output from this command. It was solely for the purpose of using remote access software and having a full resolution session.

For headless servers, it's a minor detail that makes a big difference

5/5

I can't believe I've worked in IT for over 30 years and had no idea these existed; one day, I was thinking to myself, "I wonder if someone has come up with a dummy HDMI connector that fools the server into thinking there's a high-definition video input?" Someone was clearly way ahead of me, as a high-resolution monitor was attached for better remote access. " These work perfectly and make life much easier for me on some older machines that revert to 640x480 when no monitor is connected when they boot. When I use TeamViewer to connect, I now have a full range of resolution options to choose from, which makes remote work SO MUCH EASIER.

Do you need to cast in Windows 10? This is your ticket to success

5/5

I know everyone is praising Remote Desktop and Virtual Machine applications, but I purchased them to solve a different issue. With a recent update to Windows 10, some video cards lost the ability to create multiple virtual desktops. This threw a wrench in my ability to cast to a 70" tv in my office, which I had been able to do with my previous PC. Ugh. Anyway, I got to thinking about it and decided that these would be ideal because my video card has unused HDMI and DisplayPort plugs. br>br>Sure enough, these make casting in 4K a breeze. Plug and play is exactly what it says on the tin. Put it in an empty port on your video card, go to display settings, and set the resolution for your display, and then play in Chrome. I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me earlier!.

AWESOME! Streaming Steam games is a breeze with this device

5/5

Without a monitor connected, I had a lot of trouble getting Steam streaming to work. br>br>Without a monitor connected, the game would occasionally start up correctly with sound. But, in most cases, it wouldn't, or I'd get a picture but no sound. This small emulator has performed admirably. br>br> My main PC is configured to log in and start Steam automatically. My laptop is completely ready to stream a game when I'm ready to do so. There are no issues; complete with sound and full resolution br>br>I just finished setting up TeamViewer, and it appears to be working; There's a certain amount of magic in that place. I didn't want to use another piece of software, though. I turn on the computer with this adapter and everything works fine.

It performs as expected, displaying in 1080p or 4K as required

5/5

I'm putting together a Nvidia GameStream setup that won't have a monitor attached but will stream games in 4K to the Nvidisa Shield. I also use applications like Dameware Remote Control to control my system remotely, and this dongle allows me to connect to a wide range of resolutions, including 800x600, 720p, 1080p, and 4k.

DisplayPort isn't even close to being a good option

3/5

Well, that was a waste of money; these aren't DisplayPort-compatible, and it was kind of a blunder to mention DisplayPort IN THE TITLE! For nothing, I thank you.

You'll need one of these on the other end if you're remote into any computers! These display emulators do a fantastic job! We ship NUCs to our customers for use in their data centers, but they are not equipped with monitors

5/5

The resolutions that were available when we connected to these emulators prior to using them were extremely limited. We now have a wide range of options, including those that correspond to the monitors I use at work (2560x1600, 2560x1440, 4K, and so on). ) If you're in a similar situation, I strongly advise you to check out these little gems.

It's compatible with Nvidia Shield Gamestream VM Headless

5/5

In UnRaid, I'm running a VM with GPU passthrough. The gamestream host OS will not output video if you don't have a monitor connected. The Nvidia gamestream is forced to shut down as a result of this. The gamestream will be able to continue running if one of these is installed. So far, I've had no problems with this product. Aside from that, there are numerous display resolution/Hz options to choose from.

Without using a monitor, you can get a higher resolution

5/5

This works well with Arduino because it eliminates the need for a monitor display and instead allows you to access your graphics card to obtain higher resolution. These are small and compact, and they don't take up much room. It does what it says it will.
