How to Extend Your Windows Desktop with a Chromecast 2
58You can easily use a Chromecast 2 as an extended Windows Desktop in Windows 10 (If you are using windows 7/8, you can skip step B, enter the "display setting" by right click on desktop, and select "screen resolution".)
Because I'm using 1 monitor with 2 inputs (DVI for PC, HDMI for chromecast 2) in this demo, therefore you will see a changing of input source on the background at 1:23 .
Good for static presentation, but still experience lag while moving the mouse, so not too good for animated things.

"Mirage Driver for TightVNC" for make a fake monitor

Please note the top comment if you have only 1 display interface in your computer, because you may not add a fake monitor. I quote what I wrote in the comment here,
********************************************************
I do some test on my computer, here is my pc configuration:
Asus P8z68-V LE (with Intel HD Graphic 3000 onboard)
Nvidia GTX750 Ti (HDMI and DVI and VGA output) ~ I use the DVI port of this card as the primary monitor
I discovered that
1. If I disable the onboard display card, the fake monitor won't show again
2. I can only detect 3 monitor with Mirage Driver installed (I guess 1st = physical, 2nd = non-connected display port (the onboard card), 3rd = mirage driver)
So, I guess you need more than 1 display card on your computer, in order to make the system believe a real monitor is plugged.
