Works seamlessly

After repeatedly failing to make Duet, or any other second screen app work, I decided to take the plunge on this hardware solution. The introductory video makes it clear why apps like Duet are unreliable (they depend on fooling the graphics card apparently), and this solution has worked perfectly right out of the box. The whole experience was thoroughly thought through and implemented actually, from purchase, to unboxing to installing, everything had that level of consideration and finesse that gives you confidence in a product. So yeah, no more messing about with glitchy software that’s trying to do something your hardware isn’t designed for. Solve the problem at the root and get on with working the way you want to.

Perfect for a compact mobile office

I travel every day and having two screens for my work helps my productivity. As a previous duet user I was frustrated by the lack of support and went back to just using the laptop. I have been using Luna for a week now and I can’t fault it. It’s increadable and has put me back to haveing an efficient 2 screen fully portable lightweight office and has helped me get productivity back up to where it was. I’m reccommending this thing to everyone.

Doesn't work with 2018 Mac Mini with eGPU

I purchased this device to enable my iPad Pro to be used as a second monitor for my 2018 Mac Mini which has a 27 inch display connected via an eGPU.

When I connect the iPad via the Luna dongle, it stops using the eGPU graphics card and the Apple OS gets confused which monitor is in control. Items appear randomly on the second monitor that would normally appear on the main monitor, for example a screen shot. Dragging items or windows between the two monitors, the display doesn't allow me to move things in the direction I've selected under Settings for the display.

On checking the Activity Monitor, the eGPU seems to be disabled having plugged in the Luna Dongle. So I am unable to use this setup as a second monitor if I use my eGPU. Which totally defeats the object of having Luna in the first place, which is as a second monitor for video editing (which requires the power of the eGPU).

I have contacted Luna and had no reply. There is no information on their website or marketing to warn potential customers that this product does not work with an eGPU.
