Decided to take the punt and pay the £7 for this app. Been wanting to get a bigger display for a while, but with 21:9 and 4k still being at infancy really, I want to try and hold off a while. I can place this below my display for all my toolbars etc. Performance seems great under quick testing.
For reference my system is a rMBP, 2.5 i7, 16Gb, 750M. All tests performed on battery.
Thoughts:
- Works as advertised
- Required both devices to be rebooted again to get it to work nicely
- Non Retina is sharp enough when working with a non retina display
- Can't seem to use any scaled resolutions on my rMBP, just goes black
- 60fps works great, my use is mainly for static things so not needed really, but appears to use no CPU with a static image
- Retina also works fine, even at 60fps.
- Yet to try it at my desk situation, but seems like it will be ideal.
- Stress testing it on Retina60 with a 4k60 YT video playing, video is almost smooth, CPU is at ~15%. Cursor is a little stuttery, but is also running another retina display. Pushing a lot of pixels.
- Kicking that test down to 1080p is perfect, like a native display.
- Touch works fine, support for multi touch/scrolling would be great.
- Dark Mode menu bar is an issue, keeps changing but not fully so everything is black.
