Air Display was the first usable app to let you use a nearby device as a wireless second display, and with the recent update to Air Display 2, Avatron Software has streamlined the interface, introduced multiple-display connectivity, and optimized the video drivers to take advantage of Appleโ€™s latest hardware, the iPhone 5s and new iPads.

Air Display 2: Faster, Smarter, Better

โ€œOur primary goals for this new version were to make Air Display even easier to set up and more satisfying to use, and to make it absolutely scream on Appleโ€™s new 64-bit iPads,โ€ says Dave Howell, Avatronโ€™s CEO. โ€œWe wanted to make the iPad feel just as responsive as an ordinary computer monitor, but without the wires.โ€

Faster. The Air Display 2 host-client communication is about 3 times faster than the best of class experience in the previous version. Avatronโ€™s proprietary video compression protocols now offer crisper performance, tuned to run smoothly on the iPhone 5s, iPad Air, and the new iPad mini with Retina display. โ€œWhen we first tried Air Display 2 on the iPhone 5s,โ€ says Howell, โ€œwe were stunned by the graphic fluidity, both in playing movies and in performing everyday computer tasks. The A7 chip changes everything.โ€

Smarter. Air Displayโ€™s ease of use remains unparalleled. Its new freshness comes from working with the user community to find opportunities to improve. The result is a revamped and reorganized interface, optimized for iOS 7.

Better. Air Display 2 can connect the computer desktop to up to four displays simultaneously with video performance unmatched in its category. With just a click, the user wirelessly extends or mirrors their screen to up to 4 iOS, Android, Mac, or Windows clients at once.

Released in 2010, Air Display has consistently hovered at the top of the App Store rankings for Productivity apps. Air Display 2 builds on that โ€œBest of Classโ€ foundation with multiple display support, an iOS 7-friendly interface, and improved performance, tuned to take advantage of Appleโ€™s latest hardware.
