Disappointed I'm using Galaxy note 10. 1 and Think pad Twist (Window 8), it's only mirroring and can't be an extended monitor as advertised. Please let me know how to REFUND this apps

Not working well between macbook and nexus 7 Can't get it to work over USB and can only get it occasionally over wifi, which is slower. Feels like a buggy product. When it does work however, it is quite usable, allowing you to use interact with your computer using a touchscreen. Lag is about 1 sec or so.

Works perfectly on Windows 8 I'm running Win 8 on a 64-bit Asus Laptop and connecting with the Asus Prime Tablet. After setting up your iDisplay settings on the tablet and on the PC, go to your Screen Resolution settings for your PC. Change "Display" to "Mobile PC Display". Add a second monitor and place it on the same side of the main display that you placed it on in the iDisplay settings. (If you don't match the placement on both the iDisplay software and in the PC settings, you will only get the mirror effect.) Apply the settings and prest-o change-o! It works perfectly!

Reduced functionality with Windows 8 This product does not operate as expected with Windows 8. With Windows 7 a tablet can be used as a true 2nd screen providing addition screen real estate. With Windows 8 the screen is only mirrored providing very little value

If you're using Windows install Bonjour Couldn't get this to auto-connect on any of my Windows platforms, either from a Galaxy tablet or an HTC Desire HD. Manual connection was fine, but it had to auto-connect for my rather odd requirement. Support were pretty quick - same day - and suggest I re-install the Bonjour service. As I didn't know it had to be installed, and could find no reference to it in the FAQs or elsewhere it was hardly surprising it wouldn't work. I installed it and all was fine. App seems robust and reliable and so far I'm quite happy with it. J

Not Windows 8 Compatible Shape need to remove the Windows 8 support statement off their website until iDisplay works with most PC set ups. I read the reviews about Windows 8 and decided to take a gamble. I am running with an NVIDIA GeForce graphics card and as others have reported, it only mirrors part of my main monitor (with version 2.5.1). Once Shape fix this, then it looks like this will work well as it is simple to install and there is no noticeable lag. I look forward to seeing a fix soon.

GS3/ GTab - Great This App is great, unfortunatley I'm running W8. Is there an estimated date for the roll out of the update? The description suggests compatability, but the device can only mirror your display rather than extend your desktop.
