Luna Display offers a slick way to extend your MacBook display with iPad. Now, the company put the Mac mini to the test to see how the new iPad Pro would be as a wireless touchscreen display for the new Mac desktop.
Luna Display did some experimenting with the iPad Pro as a wireless display option with the Mac mini and shared the results in a blog post.
Naturally, the setup is configured around the Luna Display adapter that works over WiFi to transmit the video output wirelessly.
With the setup successfully working, Luna Display was excited about the initial feel of the combination of the two products.
This setup makes use of the Luna app on iPad to use it as a primary display for a Mac mini. Here’s how Luna Display describes it in use:
Luna Display notes you can easily move between using the touchscreen to an external keyboard and mouse as needed.
While this would be an expensive display solution for those that don’t already have an iPad (or iPad Pro), the Luna Display could be valuable for those who use their Mac mini as a headless home server. For $80, it might be a popular way to add a wireless touchscreen display.
