Since i'm using LG 5K monitor with my m1 mac mini, and the monitor has only usb-c thunderbolt way of connecting, does it mean i will not be able to use luna display for secondary monitor?

hello, thank you for the nice video. It is not clear for me, what are the differences with side car ( I watched the video entirely ) what are the benefits ? Also you have an Apple Pencil, how does it perform with Luna ? When you use USB-c connection, do you need the dongle to be plugged in ? Or astropad software is enough ( in that case what is the point of the dongle ? )
@LamarMK
3 жыл бұрын
Hey There 👋! Sorry if it wasn’t clear for you. Luna Display has lower latency when compared to sidecar, so things will be a lot smoother. Sidecar does not allow you to use your iPad as the main monitor, and the range from your Mac to iPad is much shorter with sidecar. From my testing the pencil works great, I don’t use it as much, I just use the mouse. With a USB-C connection the dongle is required to be plugged in. For a side by side comparison here’s a more detailed breakdown on their website: shop.astropad.com/pages/luna-vs-apple-sidecar

Hi Lamar! Thanks for this great and thorough video. I got the Luna adapter and it works perfectly with my iPad when I can connect through Mac mini and a big screen, but now I removed the Mac mini from the big screen and took it with me, plugged it in, turned it on, inserted the Luna adapter and it’s not connecting to my iPad. Both are on the same Wi-Fi network. When I try to manually connect them, it’s asking me to scan a QR code from the Mac mini, but I would need the big screen for that again. Does this mean I can’t travel with just my iPad and the Mac mini?

@@LamarMK Ah no! I think I found a flaw. When I tested it at home it worked because I used the Mac mini with a monitor and was able to connect to the Wi-Fi. Now I am outside in a cafe and my iPad connects to the Wi-Fi but there is no way I can connect my Mac mini to the Wi-Fi. So how do you go about this? Does this mean you can only use it in places where you have access to a monitor you can connect to the Mac mini. Appreciate your answer!

Thanks man, glad you like the video. Stay tuned for more. It’s not possible since you have to get everything setup on the M1 Mac Mini first, what you can do is just connect the M1 Mac Mini to a TV with HDMI and set it up if you don’t have another monitor. 👍💪

Just got mine. I have an M1 Mac Mini that I wanted to be able to use like a laptop in my bedroom. I tried a lapdock but the trackpad was so bad so I gave this a shot to use with my iPad and Magic Keyboard folio. I connect it over usb C bc it’s a much smoother experience and overall it’s not bad. Definitely not perfect but I’m pretty happy with it. Going to play with it for a while and see if it’s really something I find useful.

You Can Not Stream Video Using the Luna Display! Just a heads up, the Luna Display screen records so streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, HBOMax etc. detect you are screen recording and will only play audio, no video. I bought this to stream video on one screen and work on the other so I was super bummed to learn I cannot stream video with this. But if you don't need to stream video it works pretty good, I had a few hiccups but mostly works fine.
