There is also a highly responsive support team on hand, so if you run into problems getting the software to work, they’ll be able to troubleshoot a few effective solutions.ĭuet Display as a standalone costs $19.99 on the app store. As with any of these PC/iPad solutions, there is noticeable latency between the pen stroke and its appearance on the screen, but it’s pretty slight, and more than acceptable.ĭuet Display is optimised to run with minimal drain on the CPU and the battery, meaning you can keep drawing for longer without needing to run off and find a power socket.

If you opt for the Duet Pro version (more on this below) means you get responsive Apple Pencil performance, pressure sensitivity, tilt sensitivity, palm rejection and other such advanced features. The team updates the application regularly, and are continually adding all sorts of improvements.

You may want to adjust resolution in your PC settings if your monitor resolution is wildly different to that of your iPad, but otherwise, you’re good to go. Duet will then boot up automatically and start mirroring or expanding your desktop. It’s a download for the iPad and for Windows once you’ve got and launched the apps, all you need to do is connect the iPad to your PC via USB.
