What is the purpose of this system to have no OS then?
Just get a cheap HDMI monitor then if it’s not being used for gaming/media.
Maybe OP just really likes to tweak his BIOS.
I need a display so I can install Mint.
It will have Mint installed as soon as I have something I can plug in and see the command prompt. None of the displays I have available will show anything, but the LEDs are showing that I connected everything correctly.
The reason I was/am considering a tablet as a monitor is so that I can use the computer in multiple rooms.
If your displays are connect, think they're getting a sginal, but won't display anything then there's something wrong with your computer. Most likely the video card since the monitors think they're getting a signal but aren't.
Also you don't want to use a tablet as a monitor. You can use a tablet to remotely control a PC when you're not at it, but don't consider it "using" the PC because it's a garbage experience. It's slow, you can't read shit, everything is massive on the screen, etc. It's an awful experience outside of "I just need to copy this file really quickly"
