Use Your Android Tablet as a Second PC Monitor with a USB Cable

[@GamesforCykits]

For anyone who can't get this to work on your fire kindle 10 or above make sure the USB plug can transfer files then on the tablet go to settings, type in USB preference and click it, once there make sure all options arent grayed out, that's how you know if the USB plug can transfer files or not then click on the transfer files option then plug the tablet into the PC, should get a notification to open the spacedesk app.

[@medogaming1533]

Is the tablet charging while working as monitor ?

[@M1chael_]

@@medogaming1533 Can't get it to charge while using USB as most usb ports aren't designed for high power devices, ended up using a normal plug and wifi instead of usb connecting. works fairly well through wifi anyway. Would prefer usb but can't get it to charge :/

[@heleneribeiro11]

Thank you for this! I was looking into purchasing laptop monitors on amazon, and then the price scared me. Googled if you could use a tablet as a second screen, and lo and behold, I find this video. Installed that app, tested it and it works via wifi as well!!! This is truly a gamechanger! Kind regards from Portugal 🙂

Sam, your instructions are very clear! Everything worked flawlessly. Thanks a million!

[@DerBoss-hr3ts]

[@CarlosMartinez-jn2cf]

FANTASTIC VIDEO, I WAS USING THE WIRELESS CONNECTION AND IT WAS VERY VERY CHOPPY, THIS WORK MUCH BETTER!!!

[@thisisdobleu]

the cable is the most important part of this, once you get it work just go to the display settings and you are set. Thank you so much Sam, this was amazing it works even after a year, I'm using a Galaxy A9+ it was a harsh time i really needed a second monitor and this worked just fine. Thank you again

[@kkooromii]

Is it safe as long as you use a wired connection to prevent other people from connecting to your pc wirelessly?

[@yasfazelinejad12]

I have been trying to do this for a couple of hours now and all other videos and software have disappointed me! Then your video saved me!!! Thank youuuuu very much!!!

[@Gustav.J]

Works flawlessly and surprisingly quickly - I'm using it currently.

[@YavuzBey33]

Thank you so much. If you guys have a problem like 2nd monitor gives responses slowly, its probably cuz of slow data transfer of your usb cable. I am just having the same problem but still it works fine. For a smooth performans i am gonna buy a new usb cable which supports faster data transfer. If u buy too, just be careful, its not about ampere but also transfer speed.

Amazing! Thanks for the help, straight to the point and very easy to follow the instructions, whish more people would do tutorials like this, thanks again.

[@andrewmorelli3274]

Had to temporarily move out of my office leaving my multiple screen set-up behind. Am using the kitchen table with jusy my laptop, and so found this video. Luckily you had the exact same tablet as me, so I watched. Easy to follow steps, and had my dual screen set-up back in no time. It's obviously not the best, using a smaller tablet screen, however, I think it will be much more appreciated when I'm out on the road, and have to dive into an eatery with wifi to get some work done. 5🌟

This has been really helpful in connecting my screen to my Samsung S8 Ultra tablet.

[@bennguyen1313]

I don't mind using 'Genymobile / scrcpy' to control android... so the loss of DeX (or Link to Windows, Samsung Flow, SpaceDesk) isn't a deal breaker for me. However, I want to use the Samsung Tablet S9 FE or higher to extend my PC and use the tablet as a 2nd screen. Is that possible without installing any PC software? I thought of getting a Tablet with HDMI input, like the 2021 Android 12 'Lenovo Yoga Pad Pro' ('Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 YT-K606'?), but its discontinued in the U.S (originally as low as $350 at Best Buys when new). The Samsung S9 FE/S10 tablets have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or better.. and the Lenovo uses s Snapdragon 870.. yet even used, the Yoga Tab 13 costs more than the S9 FE!

Hi, great video, I think I'm gonna use this as well :) But I have one concern: Is the tablet using it's own graphic card to display the image or is it using PC's GPU? Cause if I'm not mistaken (and if I am then correct me please 😅) running 2 different resolutions on 2 different monitors is additional load for GPU, which I'd rather like to avoid.
