HDMI EDID Emulator 1080P Passthrough 4th Generation Aluminum Fit Headlesskeep for Video Splitters Switches Extenders Pass-Through Adapter Male to Female Coupler Dummy Plug (HDMI 1920x1080)

I got another EDID emulator (4k Evanlak, third gen) but it defaults to 1080p. I could only get my 2560x1440 monitor to show with 1080p with that other EDID emulator through the mini display port with a active mini display port to HDMI cable (the active part is also important). This EDID emulator (SRhonyra 1440p 4th Gen) worked with my 2560x1440 monitor on my Mac Mini (Late 2012) through the mini display port (with correct active mini display port to HDMI cable from Cable Creations, https://amazon.com/dp/B01FM50QJC).

Doesn't do me any good

Be sure to read to the end. This has been amended, but the original info is worthwhileI wanted to use this in-line of a feed to a 2x1 HDMI switch that would feed a monitor. The switch disconnects completely from the unselected input, so loss of EDID was a problem. Although on one tested PC/Monitor combination, it worked just fine, maintaining EDID when the monitor was disconnected, then passing video when it was reconnected. But the system that I wanted to use this on, EDID was maintained as expected, but no video would pass through when that input was selected. I have seen this same behavior reported on other very similar devices, but thought I would give this one a try. I don't know what is different between the two systems. Both have 1080p monitors (although the one that had the problem does not support audio). The two systems are not in the same location, so I would need to transport a monitor to the alternate location to see if that is the difference.------ Edit -----I took the monitor from the system which this device was working to the other system. It worked just fine. I then tried two other monitors that I had available and it worked fine with those, too. So the problem is monitor specific. Only one of the 3 working monitors tested had audio capability, so that was not the problem. Ironically, the monitor that did not work and the first one that did are of the same manufacture (Samsung) and nearly the same vintage, the one that works being a TV with 2 HDMI inputs. The one that did not has a single DVI connector in addition to VGA capability. Both are 1080p and 22" diagonal. I had originally given this 3 stars but see no reason that it shouldn't earn 5 stars, so I have updated my rating.
