Under Windows 11 "Display" I am only showing 2 monitors... the playfield and the backglass.

Google AI says that is normal but at least 3 how-to videos say the real DMD will show as

another monitor. Can anyone with a real DMD confirm or deny this?

 

The DMD is described by the maker as "The PinDMD v3.1 is a full-color dot matrix display

powered by ZeDMD, manufactured and sold by Virtua Pin Cabinets."

That thread indicates it shows as a Com-port (not a Monitor) in Windows Device Manager.
