Review on πŸ”Œ Cablecc DisplayPort Virtual Display Adapter Dummy Plug Headless Ghost Emulator - 2560x1600p@60Hz by Dan West

Robust, monitor bypass

Perfect! I have an old mini computing device that needs a monitor if you want to boot in UEFI mode. I encountered a problem because when I unplugged the monitor and restarted, the system hung before it even reached the bootloader. There is a software bug that causes the system to freeze when no monitor is connected, which only occurs in this mode. Now all I have to do is plug in the dongle and it boots fine. This allows me to avoid locking the system while waiting for a monitor. Now I can boot my server in UEFI mode with Secure Boot enabled! I've also seen some systems fail to boot without a monitor. This key solves this problem by pretending to be a real monitor. I highly recommend this wrench as it's also very durable thanks to the metal construction.
