Wondering how to use the full resolution of your secondary computer?

• First you need to connect to the Air Display client from your primary computer
• Once connected go up to the View menu option on your Mac and select Full Screen. On a PC click the Window menubar option and select Full Screen

Are things showing up crisply but much smaller than on your Mac?
This is likely because you're using the full Retina resolution of your device.

• Click the Air Display icon on your computer
• Click the gear icon in the lower right to bring up Preferences
• Turning Retina resolution off will cause your device to use half of it's native resolution size. This will make things much larger, but a bit blurry
• If you leave Retina Resolution checked and enable the HiDPI resolution option you can make things larger and still have them show at maximum fidelity.

• Connect to your Air Display device
• On your Mac, click the gear icon in the lower right to bring up Preferences
• Check both the Retina and HiDPI option boxes
• Open System Preferences>Displays and you should now see the HiDPI resolution option for your device

To enable these settings, you'll have to log out and log back into your computer (or restart).

WARNING: There's currently a bug in OS X that stops Retina MacBook Pros from being able to output at HiDPI resolutions. We've filed a bug report with Apple and they've acknowledged the issue. We hope they'll fix it soon.

Are things showing up crisply but much smaller than on your computer?
This is likely because your screen has a very high resolution. Unfortunately, we can only support the native resolution of Android devices at this time (we're working on that). The high pixel density on smaller screens means that using a device's native resolution as a computer screen will cause things to be smaller than on your computer screen.

For example, A Galaxy S5's screen resolution is 1920x1080 pixels, whereas a 15" MacBook Pro defaults to 1440x900 pixels. Displaying your computer's desktop on your S5 makes it appear tiny because the S5's pixels are so much smaller. We hope to have a fix for this soon.

Are things showing up crisply but much smaller than on your PC?
This is likely because you're using the full Retina resolution of your device.

• On your PC, click the Air Display icon in the system tray
• Click the gear icon in the lower right to bring up the Preferences
• Uncheck the "Use Retina resolutions" checkbox. This will make everything appear much larger.
