Thread 106315652

Is there a painless way to use a standard notebook (no video-in HDMI or VGA) as a monitor? I don't want to haul an actual monitor during maintenance anymore.

windows has both miracast server and client builtin

Get a GPD Pocket 3 you fag
Or buy a capture device

Then go try one of the many miracast servers and receivers in your package repository, some of them might even work sometimes.

no, the easiest will be a usb capture card and the lag will annoy you.

this, I have one, huge latency but better than nothing

OBS plus a cheap HDMI capture card like this one.
I want to recommend the one I've had longer, but it is out of production. Simple blue adapter with just a USB plug on one end and an HDMI socket on the other. I got pic-related with a purchase of something else, it is alright so far.

Also, don't go too cheap or the adapter will be junk that dies quickly. I also did get a very cheap USB capture card that turned out to be USB 2.0 and not 3.0 as advertised. The quality wasn't very good. Not a night and day difference, but definitely very noticeable.

cheap capture card and obs, ffmpeg or mpv to play the live feed. i use a $5 chink ugreen usb c card.

GNOME and Plasma have a setting on their remote desktops to create an additional irtual monitor for each RDP or VNC client.
