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.
Iโve done it a couple times with Side Car. Itโs been pretty useful and definitely gets the job done. I wouldnโt do it full time. I also wouldnโt enjoy it as much if I didnโt have the 12.9โ iPad Pro.
I'm a passionate learner and sharer. I always try to give back to the developer community. I create mobile and Web applications by day. Not Batman by night, in case you wondered :)
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 11โ (pro tip amazon sells them โrenewedโ for cheap). Iโm 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 โ 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.
My name is Alexander and I am a tech lead by day. During the night I am an open-source developer on a mission to build helpful tools to help people in their learning journeys.
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 10.5" Pro with Duet Display for a long time now and love it.

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'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.
