Most of us like to multi-task when we work on our computer, and
transforming your tablet into a second screen can make this a lot easier. You
can keep your main screen focused on your work, while the second screen is used
to display your email, Facebook account, news headlines or whatever else you
want to keep half an eye on.
How To use your tablet or phone screen as a second display for your PC.
Install the XDisplay app on your tablet and accept the End User Licence
Agreement (EULA). You’ll need to enable USB debugging on your device (the app
will take you there automatically). Tap the box to turn on debugging. If this
option is greyed out, make sure the switch at the top is set to On.
Hit the Back button to return to
XDisplay. Install the XDisplay Agent for PC (or Mac), and restart your computer
if prompted to do so. You can adjust the framerate and quality using the drop-down boxes. It’s
unlikely, but if you need to install a USB driver for Android, simply follow
the instructions on the page.
Your tablet should now work as a second
screen. You can move your mouse over to it, and drag content between your
monitor and tablet display. Clicking the Set Resolution button will open
Windows’ display configuration screen, where you can adjust the resolution and
display behavior.
