It’s no secret that two monitors can improve your productivity, but not everyone needs a pair of screens all the time. If you find yourself in a situation where a second screen could be beneficial, however, you can easily make your Android device serve double duty.

How do i search a mac for a program. Now, before we get into how, I first want to point out that, while it makes the most sense to use an Android tablet as a second monitor, this will also work with phones. If you just really, really need to get a tiny bit of information from off of your main screen, then go ahead and give it a shot with the small screen. But really, a tablet is best. For this little experiment, you’re going to need a few things: a computer (both Windows and Mac are supported—sorry, Linux users), an Android device, a copy of ($9.99) from the Play Store, and the on your computer. You may also want, or a case that has the ability to keep your tablet upright while you work.

Lastly, iDisplay works over Wi-Fi and USB, and works decently well on both—but depending on where you are, you may want a USB cable to connect your tablet to your PC. We’ll talk about this more in a bit. Step One: Install iDisplay on Your Tablet and Computer Once you have all the necessary files downloaded, getting everything set up is super easy. Since the iDisplay installation is basically automated on your Android device (just ), let’s focus on how to set it up on the computer. I’ll be using a PC for this example, but the process should be similar enough on a Mac. First, double-click the to start the process. Depending on what version of Windows you’re using, you may or may not see a warning screen—if you get this, go ahead and click “Yes” to allow the program to install.

If you have a cable that's compatible with your Mac that connects to your TV or monitor, you can also mirror your display the old fashioned way, by chaining them together. In addition, Mac Minis, Intel based iMacs and Mac Pros do accept any display that supports VGA or DVI. Contrary to what you might think, you aren't stuck to Apple's displays. The Apple displays themselves are true Progressive LCDs that are widescreen with color matching, extra ports, and an extra place to put an iSight mount if you can find an. Can I use an Apple Thunderbolt monitor with a PC? Thunderbolt display on a Mac. But can the screen work with a PC? And is remarkably thin for a laptop with a 15.6in screen.

The rest of the installation process is pretty self-explanatory—just click through and let iDisplay do its thing. It doesn’t include any bundled garbage or anything like that, so you don’t have to worry about the Ask Toolbar showing on Firefox or Internet Explorer the next time you fire up your browser. Depending on the speed of your system, it may take a few minutes for the installation process to complete. The screen will likely flicker a few times as the display driver is installed, and once it’s finished you’ll need to restart your computer. I know, I know—it’s 2016. I hate it as much as you do. After restarting, the iDisplay driver should automatically start—check the system tray to make sure.

The Mac Mini is a headless computer that you must hook up to a monitor. If you do not have a spare monitor available at your business, you can use an Apple laptop as a monitor for your Mac Mini.

If it didn’t start, just hit the Windows key on your keyboard and start typing “iDisplay.” It should show up in the menu, and you can launch it from there. Step Two: Connect Your Tablet Now that the server is running, go ahead and launch iDisplay on your Android device. There is literally no setup here—just launch it, and it’ll start looking for a computer running the iDisplay server. Here’s the cool thing about iDisplay: it uses a hybrid connection, so it works with Wi-Fi and/or USB. If you’re in a place where the Wi-Fi is slow (or it’s a public connection), just plug in a USB cable.

Wi-Fi should do the job just fine. Between the two, I noticed very little latency on Wi-Fi versus a USB connection, so I feel comfortable recommending both.

Once iDisplay has found the computer you want to connect to, go ahead and tap it. If you have multiple computers, you can swipe to cycle through them. A warning will pop up on the PC when it’s trying to establish a connection—if you’re using your personal computer (which I assume that you are), just click “Always allow” so this warning won’t show up again for that particular Android device. One more warning will show up to let you know that your screen will flicker while the driver loads, and a few seconds later the Android device will show your PC screen. Step Three: Adjust Your Display Settings From here, you can tweak and adjust it the same way you would any other monitor: just right-click on the desktop and choose “Display Settings.” Again, depending on what version of Window you’re using, this may look different than my screenshots—the concept, however, is still the same.
