Product Description


Product Description
Ever wish you had an extra display for your Mac or Windows computer? There's an app for that! With Air Display, you can use your Android screen as a wireless display, to extend your computer desktop.

— FEATURES —

Air Display's performance is extremely responsive, employing a unique dynamic compression algorithm. On a typical Wi-Fi network, mouse cursor refreshes are indistinguishable from a wired mouse.

Air Display works in both landscape and portrait configurations. Just rotate your screen, and it automatically reconfigures.

Air Display makes a laptop much more useful by increasing its usable screen size.

Air Display not only gives you a wireless computer screen extender, but also works as a tablet input device. You can use your finger to draw directly on the screen's surface. Try it with a calculator, painting tool, or music control surface! Simple gestures allow you to operate the right mouse button and scroll wheel.

You can connect to Air Display from both Mac and Windows.

When you rotate the screen, or disconnect and reconnect, your windows are automatically repositioned appropriately, so you don't have to drag them back to the Android screen.

Some great uses for Air Display:

• Fill your Air Display screen with your utility apps, like iChat, Mail, iCal, and Calculator.
• Graphic design: Make Photoshop and Illustrator usable on your laptop by putting your tool palettes on the Android screen.
?• Music: Use your Android screen as a wireless control surface for Logic or Pro Tools.
• Programming: Use the extra display area for such auxiliary development tools as Console, Terminal, and the Debugger.
• Business: Move all of your iWork and Office palettes and inspector windows onto Air Display, and let your document fill the screen.

On first launch, Air Display presents easy instructions for downloading and installing the companion support software for your desktop computer.

— COMPATIBILITY —

Air Display requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later, on an Intel CPU. Both 32-Bit & 64-Bit systems are supported.

5.0 out of 5 stars Speedy February 21, 2012
This app is all about speed. There were some tradeoffs that the devs had to make in Windows to increase the speed of display. Aero desktop transparency must be disabled in Windows while the secondary display is running, for example... But what you get for it is a secondary monitor display that is much (much) faster than the competition on Android. The Windows application just sits in the taskbar when run. For me, the Windows application automatically detected my tablet when the app was running on the tablet. I can be much more productive with this app, thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is fantastic for netbook and notebook users February 18, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been using this app for some time on my ipad with my windows 7 netbook and windows xp desktop.
When I updated my desktop software and saw it was available for the kindle fire I immediately downloaded and installed it!
It works great!
I can now get extra duty from my fire as an extra monitor.
If you have ever wanted an extra monitor while on the road (or even at home) this app is for you!
Caution
Read the hardware requirements carefully apparently there are some configurations which will not work.
I have never had any problems using this software.

2.0 out of 5 stars doesn't work today March 4, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
When it worked it was very cool, however for the price I expect it to work each and every time. The hassle of rebooting and entering IP addresses when it is being buggy stinks.
