Review: Perfect for a headless computer - I have a little mini PC that I purchased to act as a media server in my house. It's running Linux Mint. I was trying to run it headless, but I noticed that if I didn't have it hooked up to a monitor, I couldn't use VNC to remote into it. I tried to find a software solution to fix this, and it sounds like software solutions do exist for this problem, but they're janky one-offs that seem to work differently for everybody and are not straightforward to implement. But as I was googling, somebody mentioned a product like this. It's tiny little thingy you plug into your HDMI port to fake out your computer and make it think a monitor is attached. Works like a charm. I just had to plug it in, and bingo, VNC remote connections work every time, like magic. It was less than $10, and it saved me from hours of googling obscure Linux stuff.
Review: Excellent device - Works perfect, just plug n play!

## Features

- exactly which is the ability to easily screen share into a lot of Mac minis in a studio rack , made remoting into machines much easier! Works great for enabling the headless use of an application like RealVNC on a Raspberry Pi,Emulator works fine with native HDMI port,allows headless Macs to be accessed remotely at HiDef resolutions
- headless PLEX server with a driver hacked GTX 1060 for transcoding. use the 1060 for hardware transcoding,solves GPU without a monitor can cause problems&behavior of the remote desktop as well as issues with the CPU being used for video transcoding instead of the GPU
- using it along with a Steam Link for streaming games to my TV. many games will default to a lower than 1080p resolution if no monitor is present. Plug in this and Steam Link will be able to stream at full 1080p.
- without a monitor is something like 640x400, which is too small to even interact with Windows. connected this display emulator and get 1920x1080 resolution now when remoting into the system!
- no drivers or config needed download any software or configure the unraid server just plug in adjust resolution and connect .Works great as intended!have any questions please contact us 24 hours . Absolute service to your satisfaction！

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for a headless computer
*by D***N on July 6, 2023*

I have a little mini PC that I purchased to act as a media server in my house. It's running Linux Mint.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent device

Works perfect, just plug n play!

### ⭐ Causes OS X To Crash Multiple Times Per Day
*by J***N on August 2, 2024*

Purchased this to use for a headless 2010 Mac Pro that was upgraded with OpenCore and a Radeon 5700XT GPU. While it does sort of work (you have to fully shut down the machine and cold boot to get it to recognize the emulator) it causes OS X to crash multiple times per day due to how it interacts with the GPU. Once I removed it and plugged in an old Apple Cinema Display the crashes went away and the system is running perfectly, just as it was prior to using this device (read: no more crashes). Unfortunately, this also means that Remote Desktop will only show the max resolution of the Apple Cinema Display, which is why I purchased this emulator, but in the interest of not ruining my hard drives with constant crashes, I guess I'll just live with the lower resolution.
