While there are several solutions to use a tablet as a second display for your PC, most are paid, and many of the free ones have limitations and don’t provide the best user experience.

Hook up an Android tablet to your computer as an easy alternative to buying a second screen, with this handy guide.

You can use any phone or tablet as a secondary display on Windows. This can be helpful if you want to increase your productivity or if you want to use your phone or tablet as a second monitor.

Because Windows considers your Android device as a real monitor, you can go to Display Settings and customize your multi-monitor setup to your liking.

Whichever app you try, using your iPad or Android tablet to extend your screen might boost your productivity. Or, of course, you could use the tablet on its own as a productivity-boosting tool.
