You need them to transfer your office PC.

I didn't know they existed until I read about "display emulators" and I'm glad I found them. Now that we're constantly working from home, there are all those empty offices with 2-3 monitors that still work (remotely accessible) due to the hassle of reconfiguring your Windows 10 displays when they're turned off or unplugged are. Also, we were recently informed that the building we are in will be demolished in 2-3 years, so we are planning to move everything. This allows us to physically remove 2-3 monitors from each desktop, saving energy and allowing the desktops to be moved to a central location without additional monitors.

Pros
  • without a monitor is about 640x400, which is too small to even interact with Windows. I hooked up this display emulator and now I get 1920x1080 resolution when I delete it from the system!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
