Wanted: Android Tablet As Extended Display For Windows 7 using TeamViewer - via USB only - cannot spoof fake VGA display

I'm shopping for my first Android device, and I have a highly specific question which many hours of research has not answered. However, to someone with knowledge in this area, it may be a no-brainer. I don't mind rooting the device (probably a Galaxy Tab A) if necessary.

Half my interest in buying an Android tablet involves using it as a second monitor for my Windows 7 PC.

• I do not want to use wifi, inteet, or other wireless methods to achieve this - USB only
• I do not want to use paid applications, all of which have unequivocally appalling reviews

My research has shown me that this is possible. However, the examples I found involved going through a local wifi network (or trafficking through the inteet - this was unclear) using TeamViewer. I found no instances of confirmation that the same can be achieved via a standard wired USB connection.

So my first question becomes:
Can TeamViewer make use of a USB connection between an Android tablet and a Windows PC, and pipe all data through this connection alone?

Furthermore, the two instances I found confirming that TeamViewer can facilitate this behavior involved using the same "fake monitor" trick on the Windows PC.

This "fake monitor" setup was achieved thanks to the GPU's unused VGA connection. Presumably for compatibility, Windows 7 allows enabling an "undetected" VGA display which need not actually exist to be treated as a valid display. The only success stories I located involved TeamViewer viewing this nonexistent-but-enabled VGA display.

My PC does not feature a VGA port. Seems logical this is why, but at any rate, Windows 7 is hiding these options from me. So this is presumably where my millage has varied from this novel solution.

So question two becomes:
Is it possible to get this behavior without using TeamViewer to view a Fake VGA Display
-------- OR --------
Is it possible for me to create a valid Fake VGA Display without a hardware VGA port?

If anyone has any definitive information on this topic, you would truly make my day. I'm thoroughly tired of fruitless searching. The answer to these questions will determine whether I make this significant purchase at all, so you'll be doing me a giant favor.

My sincere thanks,
