I can not thank you enough for this. I run a couple of "sometimes headless" machines where sometimes there is a need to be in front of them, sometimes remote is what is needed, and leaving a monitor powered on 24/7 just incase is just crazy. I would personally love to have an option that was somehow able to automatically disable the virtual display when a physical display is actually powered on, but thats just me swinging for the fence, lol. Seriously tho, amazing work. This is going to make so many people very very happy.

Thank you very much!
Yes, as mentioned before, a version with 10-bit and HDR support would be incredible! ✨

Thank you so much for developing this! This is really useful for making high-res screenshots and screenrecordings, where you can zoom-in in post while retaining a high quality!

Thanks! Your drivers allowed me to setup virtual dual screen 4k PC desktops inside a Vision Pro from my PC laptop.

Thanks for this! Just ordered an RTX 4070, but I only have a 60Hz monitor. Glad to know I'll be able to enjoy 120Hz on my TV :)

This is exactly what I was looking for, you are a godsend. I have a PC I use almost exclusively through VNC and wanted multi-monitor support. One thing I think would be nice is if it could mimic more than just 1 additional monitor. My ideal setup would be no physical monitor connected at all and VNC is just how I use it (unless something catastrophic happens forcing me to use it directly).

For anyone struggling on installing the *bat file. Right click, properties, there may be a check box at the bottom saying it's come from another computer, click to allow it to be used, then re-run in administrator. This worked for me and don't forget to change the 1280x800 option to 90hz for those with an OLED SD haha.

I was your 1000th star on the repository just now - congrats and thank you!

This works great, thanks a lot! My steam deck and moonlight setup was working fine until one day it started outputting a black screen unless my monitor was on and nothing I did could fix it. I swear I'm gettting a smoother image using this well. This first game I tested I used to get tiny microstutters in, now its buttery smooth!

Beautiful. For various reasons I need to use TightVNC to use my work laptop effectively from my desk, which unlike normal Windows RDP, cannot ask the system you're connecting to for a display configuration matching your client system. This finally allows me a way to bring my third monitor into play (a dummy HDMI plug got me the second display.)

Thanks for the software!! If you can add 10bit color that would be amazing!!!If you want a custom resolution you can add it in the option.txt file before adding it as legacy hardware in device manager.

Mike. Thank you! I have Windows 10 and you had a link provided that worked for my computer! Fantastic! You are the man! Thank you.

Incredible help to the community, thank you!

This was a super helpful video! I appreciate what you did!

You have been very helpful, thank I just needed to have a virtual display, it works perfectly if there is at least one monitor phisically connected to pc. It seems not working when there is no monitor, but actually it's perfect for my case. Screens are visible even when connected with remote desktop. Thank you!

you are the fucking man helped me setup gamestreaming throughout my whole home

Thank you so much for this video, I was looking for a solution since my computer did not detect my iPad as a second monitor and now I can! Greetings from Chile and keep it up!!
