Ipad Pro USB-C as Second Screen for MBP

[Jasonx82]

Hi Guys,

Did a search but couldn't find any details just yet. Do you guys know if I can just connect a Ipad Pro using the USB C cable to a Macbook Pro (Touchbar Model) and use it as a second screen without any 3rd party apps?

Also If my only choice is to use a 3rd party app to use both screens are there any delay / lag?

Thanks

No, you need an app like Duet.

Duet Display is good, as is Astropad / Luna Display.

Astropad released Luna, which is a hardware companion for the iPad and Mac.

is anything not laggy besides Astropad? Id imagine a little plug in will speed it up to around the same speed as a cable?

Duet Display is not laggy for me. I use it wired.

does it feel like air playing your display to an appletv?

I only briefly played with it. I’ve used it with mbp and windows from boot camp. It performed as a second display should - not like mirroring.

The plug allows you to have a wireless second display. But I assume it’s the same as being plugged in.

No. I don't detect any lag.
