Whats the best app for using a tablet as a second PC monitor?

[Mark A]

I don't have room for a second monitor on my desk, but would like to monitor temps/cpu usage etc on my tab instead. Does it work well over wifi and what is a good app to use?

I have googled it, but seem to be finding lots of sites i have never heard of and have no idea if the apps they are reccomending are trustworthy or not, so thought i'd here.

I have a Galaxy tab A 10" if that makes any difference.

Thanks

MSI Afterburner had a companion app which allows the tablet to connect to the PC for monitoring usage/temps, but I can't seem to find it on the Play store any more.

There's this for HWiNFO but it's still in beta so you might have a couple of bugs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.threedevs.aj.HwInfoReceiver

I've used Twomon USB to connect an old tablet to my laptop as a second screen. It seems to work ok. It's fiddly to setup a d costs a few pounds. But it works ok. It won't be fast enough to play games on but should work perfectly fine for what you seem to want.

Thanks, i'll give both those a try. I think the Twomon app costs £7 if its the same one i saw during my google search. If it works though it will be worth it.

Yes it works and yes it's a few pounds. It's not a replacement for a proper monitor but is useful for occasional use or for small apps like this.

But it is quite fiddly to setup.
