What does Display Emulator / Dummy Plug do? It fixes a problem you probably didn't even know you had - unlocking the full potential of your graphics card hardware. . By simulating the presence of an attached display, display emulator allows you to use all of the power and available resolutions locked away inside your graphics hardware, which might otherwise be disabled when there is no screen available. 。 Why do you need a VGA/ HDMI / DVI Display Emulator? HDMI/DVI/VGA Display emulator is a small, low-cost plug that work as a high resolution display, it makes a computer run "headless" (without a keyboard, mouse, and monitor). It appears as a headless ghost display emulator (dummy plug) that fits discreetly in to the video output socket on your computer. Once plugged, the headless PC detects a connected display thus enabling the GPU. Remote desktop access to the headless PC is then available at high resolution - up to 4096x2160 and high frame rate. 。 With the GPU enabled, it is possible to perform for various tasks including high resolution hardware accelerated remote desktop and GPGPU operations like crypto currency mining, rendering and simulations. 。 It is a must-have for server and colocation farms, SOHO and home servers and remote-deployed headless PCs. 。 Resolutions Supported HDMI dummy plug: Maximum 4096*2160@60Hz; DVI dummy plug: Maximum 4096*2160@60Hz; VGA dummy plug: Maximum 1920*1080@60Hz; DP dummy plug: Maximum 3840x2160@17Hz; Mini DP dummy plug: Maximum 3840x2160@17Hz 。 Important Note The Maximum supported pixel of Dummy Plug is tested by our engineer, if you can’t get this, please check your computer/laptop setting and relevant accessories, not every model support it. dummy plug CAN NOT emulate a higher pixel that your computer/laptop don’t support.

Works great for headless systems
This is genius and works great. I use on headless systems that do high speed streaming of the desktop for WFH game development. The remote streaming software needs to have a local display to do high quality streams and this does the job without needing a monitor hooked up and turned on. This works for accelerated RDP as well.

Works with NoMachine
I have a Linux desktop I use for work. I access it via a Windows laptop with NoMachine. NoMachine doesn't like that there is no monitor connected. I could have spent a few hours and fight with the Ubuntu settings and probably break something, or just get this. Works! 4K! Happy day.
