Use the DC-1 as a Monitor

(Windows PC Only)

We are still exploring reliable options for the DC-1 as a monitor for Apple products.

SuperDisplay

  • Paid. There is a $14.99 one-time set up fee (comes with 3 day free trial), but our team felt it was worth the cost.

SpaceDesk

  • Free. The app comes at no cost, but is not as good as SuperDisplay.
