hi, would like to know the experience and quality of the external monitor connected to the ipad that is using jump desktop to remote use a mac mini, considering to buy an ipad air m3 to bring it to my office which has a monitor that i can hook up to while using jump desktop. Thanks!

  Hi, Thank you for reaching out to us.

  At the moment, Jump Desktop for iOS does not offer an option to connect to only a specific monitor (such as the primary display) when the Mac has multiple monitors connected. The iPad app will always connect to the full multi-display setup.
  That said, we’d love to understand your use case better. Could you share a bit more about why you’d prefer to connect only to the primary monitor?
   
  Thanks

  Hi, I’m using JD on iPad Pro with external monitor just fine. For me the best experience is to just move the JD app on the external monitor, go fullscreen and run it like that. Although JD supports running app on the iPad screen and then mirror the screen to external monitor, I see no use in that as it will occupy both of the screens whereas in the first case you have free ipad screen so you can do anything else in ipad and have JD on external monitor simultaneously.
  Hope this makes sense :)
