## Questions & Answers

**Q: SO, if this technically wireless? If so, with what (WIFI, Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, etc.)**
A: No, this device makes the computer think there is a physical monitor attached so the video card will support the video resolutions of the "ghost" monitor.  You could use a wireless  or wired connection to the computer using a Remote Desktop program that supports VNC or RDP protocols.  So, this device itself is not wireless.  Its purpose is to fool the computer into thinking that there is a monitor attached.  Some computers like Apple's Mac Mini will provide only limited video resolutions and slow scan rates when you use them without a physical monitor attached.  So when you use a Remote Desktop program, you may have only base VGA resolutions and slow mouse cursor response.  This device solves that problem by making the Mac Mini think there is physical monitor attached with higher resolutions available.

**Q: Which of your two products ( FIT Headless and Headless 4K ) do I need to order to drive a headless Intel NUC ?**
A: Both will work. The 4K allows higher resolution. You would need a mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter with most NUC models.

**Q: I read that Mac Mini shows only 4 resolutions with fit-Headless 4K. Is that true?**
A: I am sharing my Mini's screen from another Mac with a 1920x1200 NEC professional display. If the Mini has an identical display actually connected, then I can get 1920x1200 on the controlling screen, and this is good. The best choice with the emulator plugged in to the Mini is a setting in the System Preferences>Displays corresponding to the 'Default for display', which is the same as '1080p' if selected manually. So, there is a mismatch between my controlling screen shape of 16:10 and the screen shape offered by the emulator, which is 16:9, leaving black bars on top and bottom of the screen. Holding down the 'option' key while choosing 'Scaled' in Displays preferences on the target machine does offer up some other resolutions, but not 1920x1200: 1600x1200 is too narrow in width, and the next size of 2560x1600 is 16:10 but results in small icons and type. For a Mini, the most practical solution is 1080p (1920x1080), but you can get that with the same company's cheaper non-4K emulator. Too bad.

**Q: This is great for a colo'd Mini.  How about for a mid-2010 Mini w/ pre-Intel (nVidia) graphics, if I wanted to connect via HDMI to a 4k monitor?**
A: fit-Headless 4K is used INSTEAD of a monitor, so it would not be useful for your purpose. It fools the Mac Mini to think it has a monitor connected while there is none.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great option for a headless Mac Mini
*by M***X on May 7, 2020*

If you want to run a headless Mac Mini and screen share from a large monitor or 4k TV, this is the way to go. Plug this into the HDMI port on the Mac Mini and download a free app called Display Menu from the Apple Store and run it on the Mac Mini. Then when you screen share, you'll have an enormous number of resolution choices in a simple pulldown menu. I've been able to screen share from devices ranging from my 13" MBP to a 4k TV to a 27" IPS monitor, and there is always a resolution available.Note: Keep in mind that this thing costs less than $10. As mentioned in several reviews, 4k is at a slow refresh. It works fine for most things, but you probably don't want to try gaming or watching videos at 4k. 1920x1080 can be run at 60hz.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gets The Job Done
*by G***N on September 24, 2019*

This is a pretty simple device with a pretty straightforward job, and it does that job pretty well. I have been using this adapter on my Mac Pro tower, which is set up as a server, and I have had no problems in the weeks I have been using it. In terms of resolution, it does support what it says, and you can check out the images I attached to see proof of that. My Mac had no issues recognizing the adapter and even pulling the proper name. The actual device you receive might be different than what is pictured in the actual product promotional images. You can check out my images to see what the one I received actually looks like.If you are looking for a headless adapter with 4K support I can recommend this one!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great with Win7
*by J***I on November 5, 2015*

I have a headless Intel NUC5i5RYH compact computer running Windows 7, and I use VNC to access the graphical user interface. When I unplugged it from the display monitor and rebooted, it came up in low res mode and refused to run at a higher resolution because it does not detect a display. Annoying.Then I discovered this ingenious gadget which neatly solved the problem. The NUC (stupidly) uses a mini-HDMI, so I had to get an adapter. Then I plugged it in, rebooted, and it came up in 1924x1600 mode without the need for a real display to be plugged in.I opted for the 4K model even though it's a bit overkill, just for future needs. This is a cheap and convenient solution to a weird problem. By the way, it's not just Windows that has this problem when you run the computer without a display. I encountered the same issue with two flavors of Linux (Ubuntu 15 and OpenSuse 13.1).
