Cheap way to output custom resolutions
Great way to trick your computer into outputting whatever resolution you need. It can get really hot to the touch when streaming games, but it works well. It's very small, with a good, sturdy build quality. This was well worth its small asking price.

Perfect for us!
These work great! We have them plugged into a Mac mini farm that we remote into for an application. This allows the screen sharing app to look way sharper and have more resolution options. Plus it acts as a debug light letting us know the mini is on.

Does exactly what it is suppose to do
I had the need to purchase and use three of these. All worked as expected without issue.

Works! Great Price
Normally these are not worth the money to me, it’s a dummy plug. That said, it’s a super simple way to tell your headless server, or say Mac Mini, to use a static resolution- no need to find a finicky software or compromise your computers security.They are built solid, fit correctly but not too snuggled, have a low profile with enough space to still easily grab and remove, and being hdmi works with any hdmi compatible computer.

Says Native 1080p - Goes up to 4k (READ IF YOU NEED ONLY 1080p!!!)
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.

Who'd a Thunk?
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.

Didn't know these existed until I needed one
I was trying to run a headless Windows 10 PC with a RTX 3070 (long story.) Using Remote Utilities to access it was giving me all kinds of weird behavior with Windows that went away if I connected a monitor. So I looked around and came across this dummy display gizmo and it solved my problems instantly. Just plug it in to your video card and you're done. Couldn't be easier.

Incorrect product description
This device doesn’t actually have 2560x1600 in the EDID table. Windows will allow you to pick that resolution but only as one scaled down from 4k indicated by the “desktop mode: 2560x1600 / active signal mode: 4k” status. Linux won’t let you set it at all.
