Air Display

Air Display is a useful tool for the users who want to add a new display to their computer without having to purchase additional hardware. You can use this program to extend your desktop area and work with applications on another computer or a mobile device such as a tablet.

Having an additional display attached to your computer can significantly improve your productivity, especially when you need to work with multiple applications. Whether you need to edit multiple documents or simply want to watch a video while working, this program can help you.

By using Air Display you can connect your PC to multiple devices and use their display. The program includes two components that need to be installed on both devices. At the moment, the existing clients enable you to connect a Windows, Mac, iOS or Android device.

If you have decided which devices you want to use, you only have to install the host application on one of them and the client app on the other. Once you have restarted the host you can connect to the other device by specifying the IP address displayed in the client app.

The entire operation takes just a few minutes and requires no configuration besides entering the IP address. However, you need to make sure that both devices are connected to the same wireless or Ethernet network before running the app.

You have the option to disable the keyboard and touch input on the connected device or enable the mirror mode from the host preferences. You can change the position of the secondary screen from the Control Panel.

During our tests, the program has successfully connected the devices and mirrored the desktop content. However the connection quality depends on the installed hardware so you should test the app on your configuration in order to assess its performance.

If you want to increase your desktop real estate without purchasing a new monitor, Air Display allows you to use your mobile device with minimum effort.
