How To Use an iPad as a second screen

There are a couple of tools you can use to transform an Apple iPad into a small additional screen for displaying email or websites alongside your main monitor. Splashtop (www.splashtop.com) is one of the cheaper options. Install the free Splashtop Streamer on your PC or Mac, then download the Splashtop Extended Wireless Display 2 app for your iPad (apple.co/1Fw5W9w). This costs $12.43 £7.99. There is a
free version available (apple.co/1FnYOL4), but it limits you to five-minute sessions.

Alternatively, you might want to consider Air Display from Avatron Software. Buy the app on the iPad and
then download and install the free Air Display Host on your computer. There are two versions of Air Display for the iPad. If you have a Mac, you’ll want Air Display 3 (with USB and Wi-Fi) which costs $17.09 £10.99 and is available from apple.co/1EXMVs1. Windows users will (for now at least) need Air Display 2 ($12.43 £7.99, apple.co/1Gpjc0B).
