What is Reddit's opinion of iDisplay?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

There are apps such as iDisplay or TwomonUSB that allow you to do that.

I hear you... I'd love to be able to do things like this with my various machines.

Unfortunately, the Pixelbook (like most laptops out there) isn't designed with what you want in terms of using it as an external display. The HDMI port can only output rather than input. You might have some success with Android apps that are designed to act as a second screen for the Mac, like iDisplay (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idisplay.virtualscreen) or Air Display 2 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avatron.airdisplay2). I've never used second screen sharing software before, so YMMV.

I don't know how to go about sharing the keyboard/trackpad, and that's a feature I'd love to have. I keep wishing that Synergy would release a ChromeOS version of its keyboard sharing app, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards right now.

I haven't found free options, but iDisplay or twomon work pretty well. There's also a wireless version of twomon.

One cool thing I discovered which I never see anyone mention is using apps like iDisplay to act as another laptop/desktop screen. You can move a window over to that screen and take it anywhere in the house. Splashtop is another good one for that.

Android tablet would probably be your cheapest solution. I've used one app and it worked pretty well. I'm sure there's other apps as well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idisplay.virtualscreen

Or an Android device:

> Turn your Android tablet or phone into additional display for your Mac or Windows computer. Increase your personal productivity by extending your computer screen! Perfect tool for multitaskers, iDisplay lets you use your Android as interactive wireless display to give you more screen real estate.

I use an App called iDisplay. Cost about 6 dollars, But totaly worth it. Also to note, Google has a free remote desktop app as a well that mirrors all your screens! check em out :D

Seconding iDisplay. It works best over USB but over local network works as well.
