## Review summary

Yam Display is broadly praised as a cost-effective way to turn an iPad into a second monitor for Macs, including older devices. Reviewers report low latency, good reliability, easy setup, and optional WiFi use with portrait/landscape support. The main drawbacks are lack of Windows support, updates that shift toward mirroring rather than extending the desktop, and occasional bugs or value-perception concerns. Overall, it's a solid, affordable choice for Mac users seeking a portable second screen, especially when Windows compatibility is not needed.

### Pros

- Low latency, smooth and responsive display
- Good value for money and generally considered worth the price
- Stable with regular updates and responsive developer support
- Flexible display options including portrait/landscape orientation and an optional WiFi version

### Cons

- Recent updates limit to mirroring only, removing true extended display capabilities
- Occasional glitches or bugs reported on some setups
