Should I use MaxiVista or Air Display for a Windows 7 monitor extender?

I'm about to go on a trip and I'm wondering if anyone has tried both MaxiVista and Air Display as monitor extenders for Win7. MaxiVista was first on a PC and Air Display is still in beta for PC.

Solution 1:

I've used both.

Air Display is better at updating the iPad display quickly and smoothly. Air Display also has some additional features, like being able to use the touchscreen as a mouse, and it can be used with both Windows and Mac, so I'd say it is a better deal.

Maxivista is a little easier to get set up on Windows. It just worked. I had to futz around a bit to get Air Display to work, but it wasn't too hard (just have to remember to Run as Administrator).

For more details on what I found when I compared them, see my blog.

Solution 2:

I use Maxivista and have no problems. I use it on my Windows boxes for a very long time and it just works as promised.

Solution 3:

Balexandre: The Maxivista App does not cost $40, it cost $9.99.

MaxiVista is awesome. I never thought that a monitor can be that fast over W-LAN.
