## Review summary

Spacedesk is a free, plug‑and‑play way to extend Windows displays to iPad and other devices, enabling multi‑monitor setups and good drawing/stylus use. Reviewers praise cross‑platform use and the lack of subscriptions, often outperforming paid rivals. Common caveats are reliability and latency: wireless connections can drop or lag, and a wired connection yields the best stability. A few users report initial setup quirks or occasional disconnects. Overall, it’s a strong, free option for turning devices into extra screens, with best results over a wired link.
