[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] iPad as second monitor for your PC

[Steve Isenberg]

I stand corrected.
It is easy and straightforward to set up if you have a Mac computer and an
iPad; I can discuss and demonstrate this in a group Potpourri if there is
interest.

It requires that your MacOS is Catalina (10.15) or later and your iPadOS is
13 or later.  Again, we can discuss this in Potourri if there's interest.
Alligator,
