FUERAN FUERAN DP - DisplayPort Display Emulator EDID Emulator Plug (fit Headless 2560x1600@60Hz)-3Pack

replaced a monitor & stopped the graphics card going to sleep

I was expecting being able to RDP to my "headless" PC with >1080p resolution by plugging these to the dual DP ports on it but didn't work. I can only RDP with up to 1080p settings. This way, I can't know if they're any good at all.

I had some mini PC's I wanted to 'recycle'. Lenovo Thinkcenter M53 and M600's. Apprehensive at first not knowing if these were the solution to turn PS'c into complete keyboard and monitor-less PC's with wake on LAN and use remote desktop i.e., 'headless' connected to my home hard wired Ethernet. I'm here to reassure that these FUERAN DP - DisplayPort Display Emulator EDID Emulator plugs do the job with no fuss. Just plug n play. You may have to go into BIOS on the soon to be headless PC to enable wake on LAN and disable the WIFI for wake on LAN to work properly. After setting up the soon to be headless PC for wake on LAN configuration and testing with monitor and keyboard attached just shut down the PC, unplug the monitor mouse and keyboard then wake it up from your other PC over the hard wired Ethernet using a take your pick of wake on LAN tools downloadable from the internet. After headless PC boots, using your main PC you'll be able to login to it with remote desktop to download software and do any number of things. Remote NAS, BBQ temp monitor, home automation, remote USB security cams with hidden storage up to 4 TB or more !

I bought these at the same time as a brand new Mini PC, because I wanted a compact system that I could stow away in my closet that didn't need a monitor (I can either RDP to it, or use remote software like ScreenConnect, Google Remote Desktop, etc.) and save myself the space, and electricity requirements that come with a monitor (plus the cost obvs). The thing works on my super duper old (seriously like 10+ year old) HP small form factor refurb computer, but does NOT work in my brand new Bee-Link SER 5 computer (The one I bought them for). Support tells me that I should buy an adapter and try that. No. I won't. I'll just be buying another manufacturer's product, because it's about the same cost; and I'd rather just pay money for something that works. Pros: - Not expensive on a per-unit basis. - Works OK so far on 50% of computers I've tested it on. Cons: - Pretty expensive when you factor in that it might just... not work. - Doesn't work on some newer computers. Other thoughts: - Support seemed willing to help, but ultimately had nothing they could do. There's no drivers, or anything so this thing either works or it won't. And they expect you to have multiple computers and a bunch of hardware that would make it unlikely you'd need/want this product in order to test.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. I have over a half dozen machines that need these and all of them work flawlessly with them. I appreciate the LED light that shows they have connectivity.
