I want a second screen for my ios development. I am confused between iPad 8th gen and a monitor ...
Ipad is costing me 21,570 RS and monitor + second-hand iPhone is costing me 18,500 RS ..
If I buy an iPad i will use it for second screen and app testing, and monitor for same.
Can anyone help me here.....
I've been using my 10.5" Pro with Duet Display for a long time now and love it.
Iāve done it a couple times with Side Car. Itās been pretty useful and definitely gets the job done. I wouldnāt do it full time. I also wouldnāt enjoy it as much if I didnāt have the 12.9ā iPad Pro.
I am using Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 as my second monitor, it comes with a nice stand too and the resolution is great together with a 4k XPS 13.
I do use it as a second and sometimes third display like many have commented. I have played around with Sidecar and it works OK, but I still use my LunaDisplay adapter more. I find it works great for me since I lean towards using second+ screens for things like reference materials or monitoring Slack, those sort of 'glance at them' apps for the most part.
I've found sometimes my iPad Pro will disconnect when using sidecar. The trick/hack I use to get it to reconnect is to click the sidecar/iPad icon in the top right and click mirror display then I switch it back to separate display.
I too just bought an iPad Pro 11ā (pro tip amazon sells them ārenewedā for cheap). Iām using it in many ways including an extra monitor. A while back I purchased the Luna Display, it makes things very consistent and retains quality ā highly recommended for power users. I also saw someone on YouTube who uses the new raspberry pi as their mobile work environment that they connect to iPad. Very interesting.
Yes! Before updating to MacOS Catalina, I used an app called Duet and it was great! The downside was that I had to connect my iPad to my Macbook Pro (so many dongles) and pay about $10.
But since updating, I now use sidecar, and that's been very smooth and I really like it.
Other than the connectivity issues, the sidecar is amazing! I put several terminals on there or desktop apps I am working on. Feels much better and so nice to not have to deal with the cables :D
I've been using my iPad Pro 9.7 as a second monitor on my 13" MBP for the past couple years and it's been great. I've been using it with Duet.
Well my experience has been good so far, I like the fact that the latency is really low for a wireless display.
I suggest you get a xiaomi battery, they got some models that can even charge your mbp.
I use my 6th Gen at Starbucks every morning before going into work. Works great there. However, at the house I have a few spots with lackluster wifi connection and the experience is pretty latent. I end up having to tether at the house. I loveee that each screen each has multiple desktops. Makes using it for development fantastic - 3 instances of localhost on the ipad, each on their own desktop for different resolutions and VSCode on the MBPro. š
I recently bought the new iPad 10.2. Been using it as a second display on and off over-the-air. Experience has been great as far a second monitor is concerned.
Eventually, I would like to use it more as a design / illustration / note-taking tool that seamlessly integrates with my Mac. That experience has been a bit jittery and I am looking for tips to optimize that. I am using Notability for illustrations and notes and would like to know how you guys use this app in conjunction with your Macbooks.
If you have an iPad Pro, the dual monitor support is built-in with Catalina now, you don't need to buy any additional software. I've used it pretty extensively and it works great, but I recommend plugging it in with a cable vs a wired connection when possible.
I have and I very much like the experience.
However, I don't code much when I'm travelling so I usually travel with just my iPad.
If I were going to code, I'd probably use a cloud-based IDE like Codesandbox or Code Anywhere
Hope that helps! :D
