Review on πŸ–₯️ DTECH HDMI Dummy Plug 4K Display Emulator: Enhance Compatibility on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux (fit-Headless, 3 Pack) by Sean Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big! I wish I had known this many years ago!

Three units arrived as described. The manufacturer had a quality package with all three packed in a single protective zipped bag. (I know there's a name for it, but it eludes me). One hooked up to an old Retina laptop and the other two were headless miniatures by mid-2011. Now I get 1080p on two minis and 4096x2160 on a powerbook. Actually I have to resize it to 2560x1440 on Powerbook to fit my monitor. Bonus, the Powerbook can remain closed and still active. Mini 2011 are servers. I still remember the screen size of my original 1984 Mac being 512 x 342.

Pros
  • A small, low-cost virtual screen emulator is required for servers and colocation farms, home and home servers, and remotely deployed headless PCs.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
