XDisplay by Splashtop for the iPad

XDisplay allows you to turn your iPad into a second monitor.

Have you ever worked in Photoshop on your laptop and needed a second monitor so you can have multiple projects open at once? Well XDisplay by Splashtop is an app that allows graphic designers on-the-go to use you their iPad or Android device as a second computer monitor. XDisplay can be password protected so someone doesn't try to hijack your screen and it uses touch controls allowing your fingers to move windows you have open on your iPad rather than using your mouse.

XDisplay also has a few features that can be activated by tapping your iPad's screen with three fingers such as, allowing you to play sound iPad's speakers rather than your computer, sharpen your iPad's resolution, control monitor settings and pull up your iPad's digital keyboard so you can type directly into a web browser or a Word document.

XDisplay has a Free and an Unlimited version for $4.99. The Free version only allows you to connect to your iPad for 10 minutes before it shuts it off forcing you to reset the app and reconnect it to your monitor. For $4.99 you get unlimited use of XDisplay which is a good deal considering the cost of a second monitor and the hassle of caring it around with you. XDisplay is great for someone on-the-go who uses programs like Photoshop and Illustrator, but if you do most of your graphic design at home or at work you are better off a second desktop monitor. 

XDisplay is a simple app that allows graphic designers on-the-go more versatility than ever before, but doesn't really replace a good second monitor at work or at home.
