I can't find a single photo or video of the inside, no one has asked this question and there's no FAQ question on their site about it whatsoever. I mean look at this video closer. In wired mode the cable goes directly between the two PCs, not through some port on the dongle? And how come Apple can achieve half the latency without any dongles? Why is the claimed latency on their website not even remotely accurate and the actual latency LTT measured around the same as Miracast (which also supports touch)?

No, as far as I know you're not missing anything. You can download the app for free from astropad's website and use an ipad as a secondary display with no dongle.

I don't really know what the dongle is for, since apparently there is still a lot of latency as Linus shows.

@seshpenguin 3 года назад

To be fair, x11 over the network is really slow and not designed for modern GTK/Qt apps (and fundementally works a lot differently than this, since its rendering using the remote GPU and just streaming video). Wayland doesnt support it at all, but you can probably achieve something similar using PipeWire

real reason why is because macOS was not developed for touch input, if you look at iPadOS's mouse implementation, it emulates a finger, something that isn't as easily done for fingers emulating cursors. it lets you use a stylus just fine, because that is a precise input, unlike a finger

I now use TeamViewer, which is free when trying to control PCs on your home network (I control my Windows and Linux computers...I don't have any Macintosh computers)...doesn't have the ability to serve as a secondary display, but great when you need to connect into a PC that doesn't allow connection to it via RDP (example: Linux machines without xRDP installed or Windows Home).

There is a windows version of Luna Display coming soon, and I think the main point was to hopefully convince people to stop throwing away perfectly useable hardware for shiny new hardware that creates more unnecessary E-waste. EDIT: Since some people still don't get why Linus hosted this. Because there exists a windows version of Luna display Linus was interested enough to host this product. It's as simple as that. Now the macadress guy previously did a video on a jerry rigged together touch screen macbook, the product can be used for both windows and Mac OS laptops but windows laptop already come with touch screens pre-installed so Linus would just end up roasting apple over that, and the idea isn't all that interesting. Instead he wanted an Apple users perspective on why they don't want a touch screen macbook. Due to changing their productivity flow or other reasons as to why they don't like 2 in 1 laptops. And why they'd rather have a Mac and an iPad separately.

@roguenify 3 года назад

@@milkyy4168 Glossy displays offer more vibrant colors and picture quality, hence why TVs, tablets, and smartphones are glossy, not matte. In terms of picture/video quality, glossy wins.

For $0 you can do this on Windows with Spacedesk. The program runs on wifi, but it can run over a wire via USB tethering (it improves the signal). You can configure the touchscreen capabilities, resolution, compression, color accuracy, and much more to optimize the experience (latency is pretty good if you configure the settings, and is the display device can keep up.) Also supports 60fps.
