Is an iPad a good monitor?

Is the iPad as good a display as a real monitor? Not really. The full-size iPad's 9,7-inch display won't give you as much space as a 22-inch monitor. But the best apps to convert your iPad to a second monitor also use the iPad's touch interface, which can be a plus.

More options for connecting iPad to Windows

If Sidecar isn't your thing or you're looking for something to connect your iPad with Windows, there are other great options you can try.

Duet Display

While many apps can use your iPad as a second monitor over Wi-Fi, Duet Display uses the same Lightning or 30-pin cable you use to charge your iPad. This makes the connection fast, allowing you to do everything from watching videos, which would lag on WiFi, to gaming.

Duet Display also works well with iPad Pro. The iPad Pro's 12,9-inch display makes it perfect for adding a second monitor to your MacBook, iMac or PC.

You can watch a demonstration video of Duet Display in action on Youtube.

Air-Display

Until the arrival of Duet Display, Air Display was the reigning champion in converting your iPad into a monitor. And while Duet Display didn't log a TKO, the champion was definitely cornered.

Avatron Software's Air Display 3 also uses the iPad cable instead of Wi-Fi to set up the iPad as a second monitor. However, Air Display 3 only works with Macs. If you are using Windows, please install Air Display 2.

Do not download Air Display 2 from the Avatron website. Avatron has an Air Display 3 upgrade package available in the app store. However, their website does not link to it. While the upgrade package costs $ 5 more than the Air Display 2, it matches the price of the Air Display 3 and gives you access to both apps, so when the Windows version is ready, you'll be ready.

Do you have a Mac? Download Air Display 3 instead.

iDisplay

Duet Display and Air Display are not the only ones to offer the possibility of using the iPad as a monitor for the PC. But they are the best solution. If you are willing to pay the price of iDisplay, choose the best options.
