Finally got a Desktop Mode working!! /u/Tytsr Android

Thanks to the new version of scrcpy and Android 15! Can now have Phone Screen Off and Tablet Mode enabled!

Steps:
Download version 3.x from here: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy

Turn on Developer Settings
Turn on USB Debugging
Enable Force activiteis to be resizable (Lets you drag the corner of apps to change size)
Enable Freeform windows (Lets you move the apps around the screen)
Enable Freeform Windows on Secondary Display
Enable non-resizable in Multi-Window (I’m using a secondary display from my Pixel 8 – though some might want to mirror.)

Reboot.

Plug phone in to PC – Accept the USB Debug AUTH prompt. (You can of course do this with wireless ADB as well though expect lag).
Open up a command prompt where you extracted SCRCPY too and run this command.

scrcpy –new-display=2560×1200/120

Change resolution to what you like. The /120 is the DPI. Use a low DPI for Tablet mode.

This will then create a secondary display from your phone (you can still use your phone as well!) or you can just leave the phone screen off!

I have been waiting for this day for years! Only thing missing is a taskbar though other phones may work there is no nice taskbar on my Pixel 8 Pro.

You can also play around with codecs and framerate if you like with parameters like

–video-codec=h265
–max-fps=60
–video-codec=av1

Hope this helps some people!
