Duet Display: deport your iPad screen on a computer

Duet Display is an application that allows you to use an iPad as a second monitor for your computer. "Computer"  mean Mac originally. But now, developers have launched an upgrade with support for Windows.

This means you can connect an iPad to a Windows computer with a Lightning cable, start the application, and Windows will process your tablet as a second screen.

The application supports Windows 7 or higher and allows you to expand your Windows desktop to the second screen. For example, you can watch a video on your tablet while writing a document on the screen of your laptop or dispose of Twitter, and even have a chat window on the screen while playing a game on the other.



Not only Duet Display lets you treat the iPad as a second display, but it also acts as a touch screen. You can interact with Windows applications by tapping the touch screen, but as the Central underlines Windows, Microsoft's operating system will treat your finger pressure as if it were the click of a mouse, not a key. This means that you will not be able to replicate Windows sliding movements on the touch screen.

The Verge also notes that Windows will treat the iPad as a screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, even if you have an iPad with a high resolution screen "Retina".

Duet Display nomally comes with 16 dollars, but right now it's available on the App Store for $ 10. You'll also want to visit the Duet Display website to download and install a free application on your Mac or PC.
