I agree. One of the GREATEST features of my Tab S8 Ultra that no one talks about is the 'Second Screen' feature. SuperDisplay a $10 app works really great. The Tab S8 Ultra has basically replaced my Wacom Cintiq as my main Photoshop editing device. It's higher resolution, wireless, lighter, portable, and the S-Pen might be even better... Samsung's built-in 'Second Screen' works OK, but it used to work much better than it does now, I don't know what happened, but hopefully they will update it to work as good as SuperDisplay does. Plus, your files stay resident on your workstation and you don't have to copy files back and forth. I find that SuperDisplay works exactly the same wired or over WiFi. If there's a difference, I don't see any. As I mentioned, it's SO much better than Samsung's Second Screen. It's pretty crazy to me that Samsung definitely knows how much of a superior product SuperDisplay is and they could easily license the technology (like they do Wacom's EMR) or even purchase the company without even batting an eye, instead they ship a vastly inferior piece of software...
If you pause the video at 6:24 and read the notes on the Tablet screen, you'll see that it does in fact still need to install the Second screen app on your PC and it will most likely need you to be signed into the same Samsung account, as it is showing it on the tablet screen. Realistically, all you are doing, is adding a lot of additional steps by having to go Windows + K on the PC and then into Settings > Connected devices > Second screen on the tablet as opposed to just opening the Second Screen app on your PC and it does the rest for you.
Sometimes I think...well I'm pretty certain by now....I buy tech to do this kind of nerdy stuff. I've done that and it's pretty cool lol. Tech is amazing......keep at it!
Hello Saki, the second screen connection on second part, are they connected thru wifi? Bluetooth? Network? Or USB cable? I saw a cable is connected between the 2 units that's why I ask, great job and thank you for sharing. Tony
The thing is sometimes I can connect it, sometimes it is connecting then automatically disconnected without go to the second screen mode. Do you know how can I fix this problem?
these are the ONLY supported tablets if anyone is wondering , my tab s6 did not make the cutoff Galaxy Tab S9, S9+, S9 Ultra, S9 FE, S9 FE+, S8, S8+, S8 Ultra, S7, S7+, S7 FE, Active4 Pro, Active5
This is great, I have a Samsung laptop Galaxy Flex 2 5G and a Tab S9 Ultra but the mouse on the tabs S9 Ultra seams slow,delayed? Do you have any ideas why that might be?
I don't mind using 'Genymobile / scrcpy' to control android... but I'm concerned that any non-open source solution (ex. Microsoft: 'Link to Windows', Samsung Flow, SpaceDesk, Samsung: 'Second Screen') may eventually be discontinued, like DeX. However, I want to use the Samsung Tablet S9 FE or higher to extend my PC and use the tablet as a 2nd screen. Is that possible without installing any PC software or having a Samsung Account? I thought of getting a Tablet with HDMI input, like the 2021 Android 12 'Lenovo Yoga Pad Pro' ('Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 YT-K606'?), but its discontinued in the U.S (originally as low as $350 at Best Buys when new). The Samsung S9 FE/S10 tablets have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or better.. and the Lenovo uses s Snapdragon 870.. yet even used, the Yoga Tab 13 costs more than the S9 FE!
Great video Saki. My tab s9 ultra won't connect using both methods. The screen goes black for a few minutes and then i get a notification on the pc to say couldn't connect. Is there a setting I'm missing?
what resolution is used when connected as a second display. Is it possible to change it? Does the second screen work over a wireless connection if an Nvidia Geforce graphics card is used?
Just for everyone's knowledge do your research on the different tablets S7, S8, S9 etc. Not all of them have a OLED screen so if your running Samsung Ultra Book3 and you want a good looking display like your laptop has for example you need to find S7+ the regular S7 is not OLED....Same for the other models some have one other versions dont. Some OLED versions need to be Wifi 5G etc. Just food for thought.
Great tip! What about screen size? You can notice that screen size on laptop gets smaller than before connet whith tablet. Do You have remedium for that?
so this is the windows/android equivalent to sidecar on macs? I hope someday we get the ability to just plug the tablet into the pc and have it work as a wired monitor with the full refresh rate. then i can just have a desktop and a tablet and no monitor
Thanks Saki, I am a fan. However, I would appreciate it if you have explained the difference between the three moods of connection. Thanks. All the best.
With second screen features enabled, will there be any lags occurs if I'm using the tablet with the s-pen as a drawing tablet for the drawing softwares installed on the laptop or pc?
Second screen doesn't work for me. Using S9+ with Dell Win 11 Laptop. Tablet Screen goes black for few sec and connection failed. Tried with second screen app on Laptop but same results :( . Any suggestions ?.
Might be a stupid question, but if I am using discord on the second screen, will there be lag or connectivity issues since we are wirelessly pairing the tablet and the main pc?
Sadly for me, the connection stop after few seconds. And it fails connecting (win 11 to Samsung Ultra Tablet). Both method does not work. The PC sees the tablet but connection failed. No VPN Both on same wifi.
no, the files are on your Windows pc at that point your tablet is just a display ,the same as your TV or monitor , but if you want there are ways to do sorting like this EX: Logitech mouse can be connected to your tablet and also your pc and if they are both on the same wifi you can transfer files from on device to the next one ,or quick share
Seriously.. thanks for your video but why can't SAMSUNG provide clear instructions on how to use their software and hardware... been mucking around with my PC and tablet for 4 hours trying to get this to work! what if my PC is on ethernet.. not wireless? what if I usually run VPN on both? Nowhere does Samsung say you need Samsung account on your PC... ! I installed it Nowhere does anyone say you also need to install SAMSUNG CONTINUATY software on my PC.. (also installed) What if my ethernet is called Network5... but my WIFI is a different name? Neither of your suggested methods work on my W10 PC (22H2) and my brand new Galaxy S10+
Not using it till it supports wired connection and 120Hz refresh rate. Like this feature could've been SOOOO much better, but they have to LOCK the features (SuperDisplay can do all those mentioned for $15 one time payment regardless if you have multiple tablets as long as it is connected to the same google account on playstore) behind their stup*d ecosystem. Previously you don't even have to use a Samsung account and you can just connect to windows, now they are locking that up too. The Tab A9 series also used to have a similar second monitor function but they locked it up in a recent update. LIKE WHY ARE YOU BLOCKING ALL THE FEATURES ON THE TAB I PAID FOR??! Everything else seems okay at first glance, it is when you actually look deeper into it that it doesn't really make a lot of sense. Don't get me wrong the features are fine, but to reiterate IT CAN BE SOOO MUCH BETTER.
Doesn’t answer any troubleshooting. Such as a Samsung S9 ultra’s second screen on the tablet not displaying the connection options. What does one do in that case? All the simple “just works” steps were followed and it just DOESN’T work. The devices are up to date and even tested on a new laptop. Can someone figure out how to have the stupid tablet’s second screen to display the connection options if they are not shown; and each attempt from any PC gets disconnected. In the experience so far, Samsung Galaxy just DOESN’T WORK!!!

does this app can use wirelessly with 60hz with touch and pen?
I'm pretty sure that wacom makes the technology for the s pen lol
Thanks Saki, another great usable feature I did not know of! Works with my S8+ and HP Win 11 laptop.
also doing the same with my samsung s8+ works great.

Adding the Samsung account on the PC did wonders, works on my S9 FE now. Thanks.
Which version of Window do you have installed on your PC?
10
Does Samsung S9 FE allow that?
@@GP-dz1yi yes
Nice I will try it with the Samsung Galaxy A9+

Latency? Hz options?
The Max is 2560x1440 and you can only do 30 or 60Hz and Latency up to your wifi but their is a bit
What about with any other tablet? What about as a third screen?
Try Super display
bit late but try spacedesk
Is there any way to use the second screen in a desktop pc? (connected with a LAN connection?
I have a question as a graphic designer... Is there a way I can use the S-Pen with pressure sensitivity this way? That way I can draw/sculpt with it?
I believe you should be able
Thank you so much! Your video helped me a lot… I was ready to buy a screen extender without knowing I e already had one on hand! 🙏🏼 God bless you
