EVanlak HDMI Dummy Plug Headless Ghost Display Emulator Premium Aluminum PC（Fit Headless-3840x2160@60H New 3RD）-2Pack

I used this solve an issue with Steam Remote Play. I wanted the beefy machine in the livingroom to stream 4k to a laptop connected to a 4k TV in the home office. The only way I could do that was turn on the projector in the living room, which defeated the purpose of remote play to begin with for me. Here's my setup so you can understand the problem. I have beefy system in the living room connected to a 1080p projector w/ surround sound, projecting to 120" screen. I usually use Nvidia's DSR to render to 4k, but output it to 1080p, naturally resulting is a more detailed (but naturally not as good as a native 4k display would be) 1080p experience, that looks really good at 120". In the home office, is my lenovo 2-in-1 i use for school and basically everything on the go. It's connected to a 4k HDR TV. If the projector in the living room is off, then Steam Remote Play will only stream a 1080p signal to the laptop in the office connected to the 4k display. In fact, it's almost like DSR is disabled once the projector is turned off because I can't even select any resolution above 1080p. If I turn the projector in the living room on, it's like DSR works again and I can pick resolutions higher than 1080p, including 4k, and stream at 4k to the laptop in the office. I don't want to burn up lamp hours on my projector just so I can play a game in the home office at 4k. I've researched a solution to this on and off for over a year and came up with everything from modifying EDID, to other stranger methods. It's seems like it would be such a simple fix, but alas, it is frustratingly not. Until now. I found out about devices like these. Put it into a spare HDMI port and walah. As acts as an active display. This worked great. I mirrored my monitor to this fake display and now even with the projector off, I have the option to stream 4k to my laptop in the home office. Wish I had discovered this a year ago.

I needed a new hdmi dummy adapter for a headless gaming system I recently built. I took my chances on this product and I'm glad I did. It works without any issues and it supports 4k at 120Hz. As an added bonus, it supports higher color depth at lower resolutions. So if you'd rather use it with 1080 resolution, you can up your bit depth to 10bit or 12bit. As I am using this for a headless gaming system that I can stream to my devices, going with 1080 resolution will be more than enough for my needs!

I have an old Dell that I use as a Plex server that is running Ubuntu Linux. I have been struggling with getting VNC remote access to work properly because there was a huge delay. I found a forum post that mentioned it being a video issue with the way Linux works and they suggested putting a HDMI dummy plug on it. This has solved all of my problems. I am now able to place the unit on a shelf with only power and network going to it and haven't had a single issue remotely connecting to it.

I received this today. Plugged it into my computer to find that it supports 4K at 27 HZ not 120 Not even 60. I will be returning this.

To be fair, they didn't claim it does work with Linux, so I'm not faulting them for it. I took off one star so this review stands out for those who may have questions about compatibility. I kept it anyway because it may come in handy on a windows machine if I need to go headless, plus it was dirt cheap so the return is really not even worth the time to take it to Khol's or Whole Foods or the UPS store or wherever they'd make me bring it. I didn't personally test it on Windows but I can confirm that it did give me display options all the way up to 4k. For those wondering the issue I had is that the device seemed to "flicker" on and off like the OS was detecting the display again and again, It could theoretically be used in a pinch but for anything more than a few minutes this would be really annoying and block a lot of functionality.

Bought the 3 pack and all work great. I use one for a headless mining rig. I use Teamviewer to remote into the mining rig but Teamviewer can't remote into a PC if it boots without a monitor plugged in (i.e.headless). So without this plug I had to have a monitor plugged into the PC when it booted which made PC resets, power outages and updates painful. Now I just put this plug into the mining rig's HDMI port and I'm free to access the rig any time and reboot as needed. I use another plug for a Minecraft server. I can now tuck this Minecraft server into the corner, access it remotely, and maintain the PC as needed. The final one I use to allow another PC to stream in 4k by now tricking it into thinking it has a 4k monitor plugged in.

Actually does 4K@120 out of the box. I bought 3 of these in various versions. This one was the cheapest but the only one to actually hit 4K120. I can get 8K@30Hz on my PC. I am using moonlight to stream to my TV and this has vastly improved the quality of the image.

Shame this adapter supposedly can do up to 8k 30hz, but they didn't configure the EDID right to show your standard resolutions and refresh rate.

Funcionamento sem problemas, recomendado.

Works perfectly for my needs. Making the Xiaomi Mi Box S work with music connected to a Audioquest Dragonfly Red without an HMI screen attached. Great price and swift delivery! Awesome!
