Duet Display is an extremely handy mobile phone tool that allows Windows users to convert their iPhone or iPad devices into fully working second screens. Options for remote access include extending, mirror, drawing tablet, headless server, and desktop-to-desktop.

Using Duet for Windows, you can simply extend your current workspace, whether you use a desktop or a laptop, improving your ability to multitask and streamlining your workflow with more conveniently accessible info on screens all around you. Furthermore, this second screen can keep touchscreen functionality, allowing you to be more productive than with a traditional non-touchscreen standalone PC display. 

With the software, you may postpone or even cancel your purchase of standalone secondary monitors and instead use the iDevices you currently own to boost productivity and let your home PC or laptop to extend its desktop surface beyond its typical main display.

Installation and Use

It comes in a relatively large installation package that may take several minutes to install depending on the settings of your home PC or laptop. After completing the quick installation procedure, you will be greeted with a very basic app interface consisting of a single control page and a few on-screen settings options. To access those settings, however, your iPhone or iPad must first be correctly configured. First, install and use the Duet Display mobile app, then connect the device to your PC via a USB wire. Wireless communication isn't supported. 

The app allows you to configure three aspects of connection quality: framerate (60fps is recommended for most fluid use, but that setting can tax computer resources and quickly drain your laptop battery), performance (which affects image quality; three presets are available: High Power, Energy Efficient, and Pixel Perfect), and resolution (which supports Retina resolutions on the latest iPads and iPhones). 

To get the most of your tool, ensure that your iPad or iPhone device supports greater resolutions and that your PC has the rendering capacity to send a higher-quality image to the external display. To save resources, you can always drop quality settings and choose the most appropriate image quality presets for your purposes. Be warned that if your PC or laptop is subjected to additional processing while using DuetDisplay (for example, converting video files to another format), the image quality and connection reliability of the external display image may degrade.
