Tablet as an additional monitor
Greetings
Inspired by the publication “With a flick of the wrist, the tablet turns into… an additional monitor,” I decided to make my own bundle of laptop-tablet, not with IDisplay, but with the help of Air Display . The program, as well as IDisplay, can be installed on PC and Mac, IOS and Android. The author of the post works with the tablet as a second monitor at the expense of the installed virtual machine, without having a taskbar, which I was very upset with, since it is more convenient to manage the control from the tablet with the taskbar.
I come to the aid of the program Actual Multiple Monitors . With it, we can install an independent taskbar on the second desktop, add a start menu button that will go to Metro on Windows 8, prohibit the mouse to leave the desktop vertically or horizontally, or even completely prohibit leaving the desktop. Set hotkeys on actions, for example, moving the mouse cursor to the center of the first desktop.
The program has Russian localization, so you can easily configure it quickly.

Since the new desktop acquires a real taskbar, we can make it auto-hide, which will help save space on small tablet screens.
You can install Air Display on a PC as a server, or as a client (700 rubles per copy).
Installing programs does not require any knowledge, everything is visually clear. When installing Air Display, you will be prompted to install new drivers and will be asked to restart your computer, then install the Actual Multiple Monitors, and when you connect the tablet, set the “Monitor Location” of the Air Display as an extension of the screens.
As you can see, when creating a screenshot in Windows 8, the second desktop becomes part of the picture, at the moment I have a task manager there for monitoring data.
With the usual tablet performance of 1.0 GHz, 512 RAM, 800x400 screen, a Chinese tablet with amazing speed works with a laptop.
When you first start it is possible that the main desktop and the additional one will be swapped, you will only see the background image, and your tablet will have your desktop, it is solved by changing the parameters in the tab of the Air Display program, Monitor location.
You can evaluate the convenience of this bundle yourself (I apologize for the poor quality):
Thanks for attention!
