As mentioned that you can use Apple Pencil to interact with your iPad over Luna Display. When I had a mediocre signal, the screen would look pretty jack while dragging a window or scrolling but once it stopped it was still clear and readable. I tried it out on my back porch where the signal strength is poor and the iPad wouldn’t ever connect to Luna Display on the Mac right next to it.
I have been using it primarily up at my desk in my studio which is quite close to my router and it performs really well. It turns out that the response time of Luna Display is highly dependent on your WiFi signal. If scrolling and moving windows around on screen is slow, then this isn’t going to be an option most people would want to use. You might be wondering how well Luna Display works from a latency perspective.
ASTROPAD LUNA DISPLAY PRO
For the Mac Pro they recommend Late 2013 or better. In their compatibility section they say that it requires a Mac running macOS 10.11 El Capitan or later (yay) and for optimal performance they recommend 2012 or later MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac. The good news is that compatibility goes pretty far back. That works fine if the iPad is simply sitting on a table next to your notebook.īy now at least some of you are wondering whether your older iPad or Mac can run Luna Display. This settings screen lets you tell the apps whether your iPad is to the left or right of your Mac.
The Mac will display a window entitled Luna Display Settings. After a few blinks, you’ll see your Mac’s desktop showing on your iPad.
It’s good they warn you because it would be a bit disconcerting otherwise. A note will come on screen to tell you that your displays will blink a few times. Simply plug in the Luna Display and your Mac will automatically launch the Luna Display app and tell you to launch the iPad app.
ASTROPAD LUNA DISPLAY INSTALL
To operate the Luna Display, you need to install the Luna Display software on your Mac and on your iPad, and both apps are free. Luna Display was developed by the makers of the Astropad, an iOS app that turns your iPad into a graphics tablet for the Mac, and started out as a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter from the outside, it seems hard to believe that this diminutive little device can deliver on its promise of shifting millions of pixels wirelessly. Luna Display, the little hardware dongle that turns your iPad into a second display, is now available to consumers.
