Mirroring desktop to tablet

November 15, 2015 2:08 PM

I'm looking for a way to mirror a desktop Windows PC to an Android tablet.

Currently, I'm using Splashtop Streamer, which works well because it transmits over the local wifi network, not the internet. However, it drops the signal intermittently so I have to reconnect which cause problems. I’ve tried other remote desktop software (Chrome remote desktop, Windows remote desktop, Logmein and others) all have a significant amount of lag because they go over the internet. Teamviewer is another popular one, but it leaves a visible tab on the desktop which is a problem.

Are there any other options or solutions out there?

I understand that I could use a Chromecast or Roku to mirrror a desktop to a TV, but I don't think it will work for the tablet, unless I am mistaken.

I use AirDisplay between Apple things and it works fine (local network, not over the Internet). They support Windows and Android but I've not used that combination myself.

I've used RealVNC's VNC Viewer. It's very basic, but works well enough.
