Tab Display - Portable Monitor

What Tab Display does and who it suits

Tab Display runs on an Android tablet and connects it to a MacBook, Mac or Windows PC as a second screen. The tablet can extend the computer's desktop, show one app window, or play video files that remain on the computer. The listing points to people who want chat, documents or reference material on a separate screen, and to people who want to watch their computer's video files on a tablet.

Using the tablet as an extra screen for a computer

Extended Display creates an additional virtual display on the Mac or Windows PC, and the tablet shows it. The listing names documents, chat, reference material and monitoring tools as the kinds of things to keep on that screen.

The connection runs over Wi-Fi or USB, as the summary states.

Mirroring one app window from a Mac

On supported macOS connections, Window Mirror sends a single app window to the tablet instead of the whole desktop. The listing says this feature is not available on Windows.

Playing videos stored on your computer

Remote Video Player lets you pick videos from one designated folder on the computer and play them on the tablet. It works over Wi-Fi or network and over USB tethering, but not over a direct USB connection.

Setting orientation, resolution and input

Display settings let you choose portrait or landscape orientation and adjust the display resolution. Touch or stylus input is available where the connection method supports it, so the input options depend on how the tablet is connected.
