Thanks for that link! I've been meaning to write the EDID to the dummy dongle I have to enable resolutions/refresh using CRU. But I think I'll dive into this first. I too have a workstation/gaming pc presently in the basement, for about a year it lived ~15km away. I used Parsec at first but migrated to Sunshine when I started using Linux clients due to the more recent Parsec clients dropping GPU acceleration. I just got a refund on my Lenovo X1 Nano laptops because they were non functioning after years of service troubleshooting. (Nightmare experience, ThinkPads are not what they used to be!) Took my money and got a MacBook Pro, Streaming to this screen is amazing. Looking forward to getting 120Hz working.

Cool! So an important piece of info might be that Sunshine automatically switches to the virtual display if you disconnect any physical monitor. I didn’t spend much time on it but couldn’t manage to get it to use the virtual display with the physical one still attached.

  (I wouldn't try this on a Linux Host) But I believe the shortcut for the Windows Moonlight client was Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F1/F12 to switch between the displays. Instead of this, I happen to setup the Host with Win+P to use the second display only and it works great. If you want to limit Sunshine to stream the virtual/second display, using the control panel: Sunshine Configuration > Audio/Video > Output Name The virtual adapter I just setup with this driver mentioned above, was assigned: '\\.\DISPLAY25' but go ahead and run that 'tools/dxgi-info.exe' to find out. Also, option.txt using: 3024, 1890, 120 Was about the easiest thing ever. Any idea how to get HDR to work?

    Great ideas! About the monitor name - that’s the thing, the virtual monitor didn’t seem to have a name when using the tool you mentioned. But maybe that’s because it hadn’t been active at that point. I‘ll try DISPLAY25 :) HDR: I didn’t look into that, unfortunately. That might then be a case for a programmable HDMI dummy, right?
