If you’ve got an old iMac around, you may be able to use this approach to turn it into a serviceable second display. In fact, I was able to useĪir Server to turn my MacBook Air into a second display, with similar results. It was reminiscent of the lag I’ve experienced when I’ve usedĪir Display to turn my iPad into a second small external display. The lag was much less than I expected, and I’d consider it usable, but it’s noticeable. While Mountain Lion introduced AirPlay Mirroring-the ability to display the contents of your Mac’s screen on an HDTV connected via Apple TV-Mavericks lets you just treat that TV as a full-on second display. But if you’ve got a TV and an Apple TV, with Mavericks you can still have an external Mac display. Not everyone has the luxury of owning a display to pair with their laptop or iMac. If you really prefer the old arrangement, you can still choose to have spaces remain constant across your displays, thanks to an option in the Mission Control preference pane. (Yes, Dashboard still exists! It’s gotten only a few new abilities, including a new sparkly effect when you add a new widget and the ability, for the first time, to move it from its leftmost space.) As I swipe from screen to screen on my laptop, the external display remains blissfully still, showing me all my other stuff. ![]() I can switch to a desktop view, another full-screen app, or even the Dashboard. ![]() When the Calendar app is displaying in full-screen mode on my laptop screen, I can move my cursor to that screen and swipe with three fingers to switch to other views. ![]() Each screen can have its own collection of full-screen apps and its own sets of desktops.
