Air Display by Avatron - another step in being portable
As a designer - its easier for me to have browser material on one screen and my work on another. LCD are dirt cheap (150-199$ish for 22"??) so to have two it will be no more than 400$ MAX!
Laptops these days have those nifty VGA/HDMI out and you can use your laptop as a desktop and display your nice 14" screen to a bigger one. What to do if you have an iPad and a laptop? Well why not use AirDisplay and use that swag of a nice display as your second monitor?
Step 1) Download from Avatron the server program availabe for Mac OS X and Windows flavor.
Step 2) unfortunately it will require a reboot of the computer.
Step 3) Purchase at the App Store AirDisplay
As long as you are on a local network your good to go!
Now there is a possibility of the following thought: Didnt you just say that with 400$ you can get two LCD 22" for view pleasure? Well bottom line is that yes you can but you will need a desk, then a power source, etc....this is for portability solution. Try it!
