- #31 in HDMI-to-VGA Adapters
Product Description
.
.
- Operating a headless PC requires remote desktop access, but in many cases compositing the desktop in high resolution is possible only when the computer detects a connected display.
.
- Headless is a miniature HDMI plug that emulates a high-definition display connected to the PC.
.
- The headless PC identifies Headless as a connected display and enables the GPU thus allowing remote desktop compositing at high resolution.
.
- Headless works with any HDMI capable PC on any operating system and requires no software installation nor configuration.
.
- Headless does not require external power.

I love these. I have a few headless computers with full OSs installed and was always disappointed when I VNC into the desktops. Now with these I have full 1920x1080 remote desktops.

These work great and can provide 4k@120hz resolutions. I used these to move the heat generator into another room and remote connect using Moonlight and Sunshine. Only gripe i have is that i cannot get them to allow 1440p ultrawide at anything higher that 60hz.

They plug right into the HDMI port on the graphics card. A little blue LED lights up to show that the thing is working. No software to configure. Super easy to use!

I was able to stream from my PC without having the monitor on with ease thanks to this. Nice easy solution. Only complaint, it has no ridges, so in tight spaces it's a little hard to pull it out.

worked at first try... it allows me to run Linux in Headless mode accessing my box from other PCs using remote desktop apps and control it. Full resolution is granted. Really good.

I was trying to setup a headless sever and the speed and screen quality was terrible over vnc (it was fine when a monitor was plugged in). After doing doing some research it turns out that the client / server was using an internal video card model when the system did not detect a "real" connection.I have used loop back plugs to test networks most of my career and thought that there must be an equivalent to provide a dummy load video tests. So I looked and found this. Shut down the system and put the plug in, rebooted, and connected via vnr. The default screen resolution was defaulting to higher then expected, so changed it down (remotely) and now everything works perfectly!Good product at a great price.

I run a few headless Linux machines and I'm quite tired of my motherboard complaining about the lack of a screen hooked up to it whenever I turn on those machines. This adapter helps fix that right up!As the description says, it makes the computer think the GPU has a monitor plugged in. The default resolution is 1920x1080, but it is configurable to other resolutions. Make sure to unplug this if you want to boot into your bios and change things, because the computer "may" choose this over your physical monitor you plug into your GPU!Other than that, there isn't much to say about this, other than the fact that it just works! Makes great for a sleeper machine, because the dongle doesn't even have a light on the back of it to show that it's there!

If you need a dummy plug for whatever reason, these will work.However, if you are like me, you might have purchased these because they say they do 1080p natively... which is true, but because it also goes to 4k, this can be a problem for some situations. In my case, I'm trying to stream my SteamDeck, and my XR1Lite defaults to 4k capture at 30hz. Until Valve lets us define the resolution manually, this means the Deck also will follow this. If I connect a TV on the pass through, then this will set the capture card to report its resolutions (up to 1080p), and thus the deck will follow along.So you can see why I purchased the plug, and specifically these ones that say "will do 1080p natively." As included in the screenshot, they support up to 4096x2160@24Hz. This means the deck will follow along, making things slow. Thankfully, with a Raspberry Pi, I was able to flash one of the plugs to mimic my TV's EDID signals, resulting in it reporting only up to 1920x1080@60Hz. This does require using edid-rw and tvservice to write and dump the edid data, but if you were needing to know, these plugs will accept the new dumps and have worked great as a result!However, if you are wanting an out of the box experience of 1080p only, as it would appear to be listed as, you will be spending a good while getting everything set up just to fix the issue. At least you get 3 of them for experimenting.
