IMPORTANT: The newest version of this app is Air Display 3. But that only connects to a Mac. This is the one to get if you have Windows. Its also the latest if you have a Mac on OS X 10.7 (Lion) or an iOS device on iOS 6.
COMPATIBILITY
(1) The Air Display Host is not yet compatible with Windows 10. Stay tuned.
(2) Air Display 2 does not yet know about the 12.9" iPad Pros awesome resolution. Sorry! For now, we dont advise using Air Display 2 with this device.
(3) The Air Display Host drivers are not compatible with PCs that have “dual-graphics switching.” To determine if you have that feature, open Windows Device Manager and expand the Display Adapters section. If you see both Intel and either Nvidia or AMD graphics adapters, you probably have dual-graphics switching.
********************
With that out of the way, let us tell you about Air Display 2…
Use Air Display 2 to turn your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch into a wireless display for your PC. Increase your productivity with extra screen real estate or mirror your PC computer display to your iOS device.
“You have a bunch of different options to turn your iPad into a second display, but we prefer Air Display as the easiest option.” — Lifehacker
With Air Display, you can wirelessly extend your computer desktop to gain more space or you can mirror your computers screen to your iOS device and control your computer with intuitive iOS touch gestures and/or Air Displays elegant built in keyboard. Got a Bluetooth keyboard? you can use that too!
Air Display consists of an iOS app and a separate free app that you install on your computer. Both your PC and iOS client (iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch) must be on the same Wi-Fi network to use Air Display.
