Using Tablet As Secondary Display

I have been playing with a few different apps to make this work and have been really pleased so far with spacedesk.  It seems to have a much lower overhead than Slashtop and some others and performance is comparable.  I think that this is a great way to monitor the PC while doing anything.0B2DAD67-933E-4CC1-8F6D-BFF897BEC5B5.thumb.jpeg.8042ad7e0480a3f2231a9eaa52b42abb.jpeg

Tablet is in the upper right corner and is surprisingly sharp given the 1200x800 resolution.  There is a draw back and that is there is a battery life associated with the tablet.

@star_pilot475 You are right, I wish there was a cleaner way to do it than wrapping it around the back but that does in fact fix the problem.

Yeah, it’d be annoying but it fixes the problem, so...

otherwise, this is neat! I wish I had a piece of crap tablet sitting around that I didn’t care about... hmm I’ll have to see if I can find one...
