For what it’s worth, I can’t get any adapters to work on my ThinkPad and haven’t been able to resolve it for a long time. My only HDMI port is broken. I’m going to try this with one of the Pi’s I have laying around. I’m excited to see if I can get it to work!

  Since you mention Thinkpad, here is a personal pet peeve. A company called StarTech makes ExpressCard devices and USB devices. They make: * An ExpressCard HDMI capture device (no longer manufactured) that sits flush with the body of the Thinkpad. [0] * ExpressCard USB3 peripherals that adds one or two USB ports to the Thinkpad and sits flush with the body of the Thinkpad. [1] * USB3 to HDMI output devices that leave an unsightly dongle protruding from the Thinkpad. [2] So, what StarTech does not make (and my pet peeve): An ExpressCard device that adds an HDMI output port to a laptop and sits flush with the laptop's body. Note that such a product would seem to be a trivial combination of their existing products. I would also expect that such a device would be cheaper to manufacture than the equivalent capture device.

Oddly enough, the comment seems to be a combination of comments of two different reddit accounts: https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/11r9osx/using_a_raspberry_pi_to_add_a_second_hdmi_port_to/jc8g1l9/ https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/11r9osx/using_... https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/11r9osx/using_a_raspberry_pi_to_add_a_second_hdmi_port_to/jc8uso0/ https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/11r9osx/using_...

  Yeah I noticed that. The "Lol" was not even in any of the original comments. Very odd indeed
