I use this headless HDMI adapter for both VR and Steam Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EK05WTY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's a bit pricey, but it does a great job.
I recommend using this: dummy plug
Works great for me at 120hz @ 2k resolution.
I'm new to Parsec, but I guess you could autologin with your password protected user and then lock the session right away with this simple batch script. This way you`ve got both your user session started and Parsec running on background without fear of anyone snitching on your computer
EDIT: Apparently my solution works but you can't see anything from the Parsec client until the Parsec server detects the screen (to do so you have to press a key on a keyboard attached to the server). Is there anyway to run Parsec without any screen actually attached?
EDIT 2: It seems I need a dummy HDMI like this to trick the PC on believing it has a screen connected. I ordered one but now I have to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive from the US. :(
There is a way to sort of do this. You can get one of these "headless monitors" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EK05WTY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Windows will see and treat it like it was a real monitor. Then set it up with whatever resolution you want and extend the desktop on to it.
There is a discussion about this here :
http://oddsheepgames.com/?topic=do-i-need-120hz-main-display-to-actually-use-120hz-on-trinuspsvr-properly
"Hi,
you have another option : the headless adapter. Using the PSVR as the main display can’t work properly because you need the main window to be in front in order to interact with keyboard and mouse (if you need it).
So in order to reach 120hz, you can buy this :
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01EK05WTY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It will simulate a 120hz screen. But you might have only one HDMI output on your video card. You can in this case use a Displayport to HDMI adapter but you will need an active one. All passives are limited to 60 hz and won’t help. here is one example :
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01CY2SXN2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Now you have the headless adapter, plug it in your PC (keep the screen too).
Now this is how i do it : launch the game, verify that that SBS view is in the headset (using windows key + shift + arrows if needed to place it properly). click on the “non SBS view” to make sure it is in front and shut down the main screen. There you are, HMD is @ 120 hz for much less than a 120hz monitor."

This works. I do have to un plug my 1440 ultrawide and plug this in when I want to couch it up. I wish there was a better solution but this is the best I have found. But for $10 not bad.
For a wireless HDMI dongle, try this one. It was featured in a LTT video and seems to work pretty well.
Windows will output through HDMI at whatever resolution you want, up to a certain maximum that isn't supported by that HDMI standard. You should be fine with FHD.
dude why?! You should have bought those $10 dummy HDMI plugs on Amazon that lets the GPU always active by making it think that it had a display connected...

The Pimax is an LCD so the colors are absolute garbage and it isn't very bright. This is irrelevant for most browsing and for doing my job (programming, which I get to do in VR twice a week from home). So it's not that I prefer triple monitors, it's that any of my triple monitors have better colors and brightness than the Pimax. Sometimes I game on my Ultrawide for this same reason but it's a bit silly that it gets so little use now since I just bought it a few months back.
The 1080p was the software limitation which is no longer an issue. The HDMI chip is 1.4b, which can do upwards of 2K@60Hz (which it can now do), or 4K@30Hz (which it still can't). There's also a way to do 4K@60Hz via YUV420 which is essentially 4K pixels but only 1080p colors. This isn't implemented either though.
Here's what I use to get a 4K display in VR without having a real 4K display: https://www.amazon.com/fit-Headless-GS-resolution-emulator-game-streaming/dp/B01EK05WTY
