Using a Windows Tablet as a Monitor?

Yalla Bye

Is it possible to use a Windows tablet as though it were a monitor for a separate machine?

I suppose I should have been more clear

 

I would like to use a tablet as the primary monitor for a computer. That is, instead of turning on the PC, and using a monitor it already has to launch a program that would allow me to utilize a tablet as a second monitor, I would like to use the tablet as the only monitor.

ok, so, when you say use the tablet as your only monitor, do you also mean, use the touch feature of the tablet to control your PC? (ie, use the tablet as your interface, and screen, and the PC to do all the heavy lifting (which isn't really then using it as just a monitor)


might also be helpful to know what you plan on using it for, I mean, there might be work arounds, or ap's designed to do what you're already doing, (like casting?)

this is usually not possible because all connections to a tablet are usually done as an output an not as an input especially for image signals.
