Duet Display

In the eventuality that you need to have a second monitor to be more efficient at work, then the simplest solution would be to go out to the store and purchase one. While optimal from the productivity's point of view, shopping for a new monitor is not exactly the most cost-effective option available.
Duet Display is a sleek piece of software that enables you to transform your iPhone or iPad into a second screen for your computer.

Linear and straightforward setup

First off, you should know that you are required to install the equivalent application on your iDevice. While the setup is intuitive on both devices, you should keep in mind that you need to restart your computer for the video driver to be recognized and fully functional.
You can gain the secondary display by connecting your iOS device via a standard USB cable and going through the settings. On a side note, it is necessary to mention that the program can be found in the System Tray on your computer.

Enables you to gain a touchscreen display for multitasking

The utility comes with a sleek and modern interface that enables you to refresh the frame rate, type of performance and the resolution of the device. If you are on the road, then you can opt for the 60 FPS framerate and energy efficiency performance so you can use the laptop's resources for longer.
Even though you can choose the highest settings, you should make sure that the iDevice can actually support the settings. This is why it is likely that you can experience noticeable lag on the iPad sometimes.
Then again, you can switch between the various display options until you find the one that provides the desired fluidity. You should know that the performance of the second display is also affected by the capability and resources of your computer.

A great tool for gaining a second display

In the eventuality that you require a second screen, but it is not financially wise to invest in a second monitor for now, then perhaps Duet Display can help you get a suitable second display.
