Air Display's performance is extremely responsive, employing a unique dynamic compression algorithm. On a typical Wi-Fi network, mouse cursor refreshes are indistinguishable from a wired mouse.
When you disconnect and reconnect, your windows automatically reposition, so you don't have to drag them back onto the Air Display screen.
You can choose to connect automatically to Air Display every time you launch the app (when connected to another Mac only, for now).
Can connect over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Runs full-screen or in a window.
On first launch, Air Display presents easy instructions for installing the companion support software for your other computer.
