The name of their software widget is iDisplay but they claim it works with iOS, macOS, Android and Windows. Maybe I'm a bit late to the party P but it's not all "doom-n-gloom" on this front.Īn (apparently) Argentinian software company has published a software which claims to do exactly what you ask here - the company's name is Shape - you can read about them here -> Touch screen works as a mouse as well so its not just a monitor its a whole new input device. You can also just duplicate one of your monitors to the phone. You can definitely send those 1s and 0s though the usb cable but at some loss of quality.īoth those programs give you the ability to extend your display to the phone as if it were another monitor. I been looking for the same solution for days and just found it. The app then interprets those signals and displays the image. The server program running on your PC captures the video thats sent to the monitor changes it to a usable format and sends that to the phone via data cable. You can stream video over usb via software and thats exactly what the app I mentioned does. I been doing the same thing with my psp via data cable and pspDisplay so it was a matter of time to find a program that does the same for my android phone. Some phones even have Mini HDMI ports to steam video. That gives the best refresh rates, and quality. In the end its all 1s and 0s and usb data cables and computers love those things.ĭVI, and HDMI cables are designed FOR monitors to connect directly to the displays control board. "TurboFool" apparently doesn't know much about data cables or software. change the mode to mobile pc monitor display and it should work depending on your phone. there is also Twomon USB but that cost $9.ĭownload the free "Mobile Pc Monitor" app from google play and the server from Īfter installation go to display properties on you pc and click detect. Yes you can using "Mobile Pc Monitor" you can do just that.
