Imagine 3d modeling, sculpting, texturing and animating either 3d or 2d in Blender with your display tablet... seems like a dream come true 😍😍😍😍
Have you tried blender in VR?
@@jtmcdole No, because I don't have a VR headset yet. But hopefully someday
I test it on my s7 plus.. It's kinda lagging in blender
@@capitalm9304aw dang it. I was hoping it would work fine with blender.
@@capitalm9304superdisplay or blender
To say the code behind this is good is an understatement.
The closest you can get to superdisplay is making a *wired* lan connection (with an ethernet cable) with a dongle on your tablet and then use a program to stream through a lan network between your pc and tablet.. and then deal with the awkward virtual monitor programs to mirror the virtual monitor to the tablet. All in one, through usb, it's magic
i use my Tab S9 Ultra as a tablet and Cintiq using super display. it actually works really really really really well. no lag. i really like it. i do a lot of photoshop work and my wacom tablet died. was contemplating getting a cintiq or another wacom until i discovered this. works flawlessly
i love this as it allows me to have touch + pen input for my desktop + my laptop yet i still have a great tablet to take with me on the go
I've used this for animating on Toon Boom Studio on the Galaxy S7 Plus. So good and well worth it! The main feature it's like a wireless Cintiq.
I have been using Super Display with my Galaxy S6 lite. It is really great. Also, for Undo, or any other functionality, I use an External key pad connected on my computer. In that way I can concentrate drawing on my tablet without problems tapping ot trying to find any functionality like Undo, crop, etc.
I have the same tablet, definitely going to try this!

I also have a table s6 does this work with affinity photo and so I need to buy super display for my tablet and computer? Thank you in advance.
@@Dragoninheart76 yup it will work
Huaaa niceee
Love SuperDisplay! Very glad to see you finally review it too
Fun fact, you can turn on 120hz refresh rate if your tablet supports and it makes it more smooth
Yep. Mine is definitely maxed at the 120hz.
@@trenton9My tablet although has a USB-C port. it does not support video output. Will the Superdisplay driver still be able to work?
@@wilsont1010 From what I see, people without video output on their Tab S9 Fe cannot get Superdisplay running. I saw someone say they had success using an alternative called Spacedesk, but they may have been connected wirelessly instead of through usb, which introduces more lag potential. Without video out, you probably have to rely on connecting wirelessly. Even then, results may vary depending on what model tablet you have and what second monitor app you use.
What tablet?
I've been using this with my Tab S8 Ultra, there is no discernable lag for me over the wire. The lines are perfectly straight with no weird input, I do have quality moved to 100 instead of the recommended 80. Another thing, In the settings, make sure you enable the higher refresh rate. Works flawlessly, just make sure you're using a USB 3.0+ port or you're gonna have a bad time
Thank you for your advice, I also have an Ultra and I just downloaded the application and I must say that I am not very impressed: I have latency on Photoshop also I find the screen a little blurry on the tablet. I wasn't sure where the problem is but I'll try to use the same configuration as you.
can you do a video on what your configurations are? i ordered an s8 ultra as well and im scared of this lag
@@francedelongueuil did it work out?
i have laptop with usb 3.2 and phone with usb 3.2 but NOT the cable. Its usb 2.0 so will it bottleneck?
Hello i have some questins about app for samsung. I really like tab s9 ultra but im amateur photographer and normally im using lightroom and photoshop in my mac for my photos....
But no chance to download photoshop for samsung tablets (im not talking about photoshop express its not same fully version) and i know clip studio paint app for samsung but i want to ask....
For example, can I process my photos layer by layer? Or can I combine two photos? For example, can I delete the sky in a photograph and give it a space image? May i use clip studio app same like photoshop tablet version... or this app only for drawing
Thank you
9:55, I'm not bothered that even the android app itself has not been updated for 2 years. I think it's because the android app is well made already. If you're going to check the signature timestamp from the superdisplay's windows driver installer, you'll see that the installer was signed September 2022. What I'm trying to say is that, the developer is still actively maintaining the project.
I found superdisplay one of these days while i was doing my thesis and maaaaaan that app works great and it's been great for me to do the thesis because for me it's easer to read pdf's and write on them in the tablet
BRAD !! With this one video you solved a heck ton of my problems XD Thanks YOU !!
Awesome, I was waiting for this video!
been looking for an app like this! tried virtual tablet before, but noticed that it's not mirroring and didn't input pressure sens for me, so I almost gave up looking for a way to get it to work. also thought about getting any kind of adapter to mirror the screen, but those mirror "the wrong way" lol. thanks for the video Brad!
edit: actually the most helpful video in a good while, for making me aware of superdisplay :)
LITERALLY WHAT I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING FOR MONTHSN NOW THANK YOU! I've been wanting this for game design, I couldn't decide between a Wacom or Samsung. Now I know the tablet is the better option. :)
Thanks for showing me the extra features of the app. it will help when i use it with illustrator. Especially the custom undo and pinch zoom..
The channel is a blessing 🙌🏽
As far as I can tell it works perfectly for me in clip studio in terms of pressure sensitivity and accuracy.
Thanks for that Brad, I just bought a s8 ultra tablet brilliant, but love photoshop for over 25years, so will try this with my desktop.....
I love this app! In your initial galaxy tab review you teased a revised version of your native android drawing apps, is that video still coming out?
Definitely getting Super Display once my Galaxy S6 Lite comes in. This is exactly what I was looking for! I heard that the Second Display mode for Samsung is laggy when using the pen, so thank you for detailing this app!
second display really really sucked. i used it for my Tab S9 Ultra.. didnt like it.. laggy as fk... tried this super display. literally no lag. i do a lot of photoshop work. its basically become my cintiq.
finallly!!! the review is hereee!!
and its only made my choice between tab and ipad more indecisive, though the little hitches when drawing fast are really a bummer.
I'm waiting for the day tablets can actually replace a pen display
yea not expecting them to replace the professional ones but the intro ones for sure.
Thank you for advertising this I will go and use now on Android Tab s7.
Wow, really appreciate this app review! Now, in addition to having my desktop XP-Pen drawing tablet and Macbook/iPad Pro Sidecar combo, I was able to use my Tab S6 Lite with no discernible lag or problems on an old Thinkpad i5 vPro laptop I had lying around. I've tried Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Clip Studio Paint on it, all with no problems. I also like that Win10 treats it seamlessly like a second monitor and I'm able to adjust the screen resolution on the S6 with no problem; I use 1000 x 600, which loses a little clarity but makes the program screens big enough to be useful.
Clip Studio Paint comes preinstalled on a lot of newer Samsung tablets, they have a native android version, also couldn't you just change the interface scaling instead of resolution?
Hey does android tab works with macbook with this app
@@frostfiregamer3791 i wanna know the same. Did u find out?
Could you do a follow up comparing different tablets. I wonder if this makes the different android pens comparable
I have using it since two years ago and love it, only palm rejection is always issue. If you are Samsung user superdisplay will kick your samsung Dex off.
Thank you. This was awesome
Hi Brad. When you're drawing on the Tab s8 ultra. Do you have it flat on the desk or prop it up on something/stand?
I really recommend to use a USB C 3.1 Gen 2 cable to draw in Photoshop. if you use a default usb cable, you will see more delay when you draw. it's not perfect but I have no problem using photoshop, fresco, clipstudio, and Zbrush. it's a no-brainer buying Galaxy tab ultra if you have a pc laptop. Oh- I reduced the quality to 70% but it still looks good.
Thanks so much, I was looking to see if it would work fine with 3d modelling software I'm glad you mentioned zbrush. Should work fine with blender then too I'm guessing!
bro! I like this app a lot. I work from home. and even tho its not necessary but having a second display helps a lot. Now imagin travelling with a 15 inch tablet and a 27 inch display. Question. is it 10 bucks a month or just 10 bucks lifetime?
Where I live, the Huion 16 2021 is the same price as an S6 lite.
Should I go with Huion or the S6 lite with Super Display.
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I'll use it for sculpting in blender.
I have loved your vids ever since you uploaded best drawing apps for android. Now my question is what kind of computer do you have and what usb ports and usb cable do you have to charge your samsung galaxy tab s8 ultra, because when i plug mines in it just shows slow charging the green normal circle notification does not show up and it keeps on asking me to use supported charger. And when it does say charging it says like 8 hrs instead of the normal 2 hrs, as i dont like fast charging. Any workarounds to this would be greatly appreciated. love your content man.
Oh yeah, Super disply is great. It's good for turning your tablet into a makeshift screen drawing tablet for your computer. Sometimes I use my galaxy s6 lite to draw on my computer over my xp-pen screen drawing tablet at times.
ditto here. And easier to bring to clients if you do work on the go with a laptop.
I have a question. how to use this software on your monitor and have the display act like a touch pad of sorts. I do not want to look at the tablet but my screen while drawing on the tablet.
My daughter has Galaxybook 12.0 with Spen.
May I use it to connect my PC, or heavy laptop running Photohop, and Davinci Resolve Studio? Connect via USB-C, or via Wifi. Operating System of all are Windows 10.
Regarding the updates. The app got updated last year to support android 13 and the dev is always answering question on twitter so there's no worry about being left in a broken state.
Excuse me, as you seem to be more familiar with the app i have a question if you don t mind. For the wired conection does my usb C port on the laptop need to be able to be used as a display port or does it work with any usb C port in general?
@disgracetwt5513 Hello 👋. I don't mind if at all. I think any usb 3.0 port will work. I have a pc desktop and just plug in my tablet into the usb A port that my monitor has, and it works perfectly even with 120hz enabled. I use an usb A to usb C cable for this, but if you have usb C on the laptop itself, it should work just as well.
Space desk works really well
Hey Brad, I was wondering would you go with S8 Ultra upgrade from S7+ for the extra size? 🤔 I was disappointed with the aspect ratio on the S7+ compared to the ipad Pro. I would like some more real estate to draw with. Just wanted to ask is it worth it? Xx
I upgraded from S7+ to the Ultra. Loved my S7+, but pretty soon it began to feel like a baby tablet compared to the Ultra. The extra real estate was the main reason for my upgrade, and I have no regrets.
keep your s7+ and buy a real screen if you want more space.
Hello, good day, I have a question, is it possible to install Photoshop and Illustrator on Samsung Tab S8 tablets? That is, I want to have a separate installation, not with a cable or Wi-Fi. Because everything I search is only for iPad. Thank you for helping me if there is a solution
Which is better duet, easycanvas on ipad or superdisplay on galaxy table?Thanks
I used to use this when i had a tablet. I had to sell it last week. Good times
hey, have you been able to figure out how to get the stylus button to work as an eraser? thank you!
What cable did you connect to the tablet?
I have a question ! I have a tablet pc laptop , a lenovo thinkpad tablet , with a touch screen that supports stylus , however, the graphics card is potatoes and can't run photoshop or blender , it's been a good dog , but now it's old and now I got me a new desktop pc with rtx GPU , still , no touch or stylus , both have windows 10 , so I am looking for the right method to pair them together properly ! Can this app work ?! Or what should I do ?!
Small correction
You correct either via cable OR wifi, you need either, but do not need both.
please reply me, the psd files we save using this in mobile,do support in a computer later ?
Can it work on all tablets? My tablet although has a USB-C port. it does not support video output. Will the Superdisplay driver still be able to work?
Can you zoom in use your finger on Photoshop?
FINALLYYYYYY THANKYOU BOSS
Do you think i can get the same drawing performance(latency) on S7+ 6gb ram using usb mode SuperDisplay ?
I have a small tablet and I want to do the reverse by having the android app project into a larger Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 inch?
Hey brad, from where do you get your music?
you can also use it wirelessly using the built in "second screen" feature on samsung tablets!
I've been using SuperDisplay for a while now, I think it works terrific. To me, the main annoyance is actually how unsmooth scrolling and pinch & zoom is. I am not sure is it a native windows/Clip Studio Paint issue, or a SuperDisplay issue. The pen being very slightly laggy is not too much of a problem to me, I even use it on Wi-Fi. But my computer is connected to the router via Ethernet and I'm on 5Ghz Wi-Fi. It's no Wacom Cintiq, but certainly usable.
I generally don't run into pinch and scroll issues. The one thing that gets finicky on my end though is rotate in Photoshop. Even still, rotate gestures don't give me that much trouble. I don't get pen lag either while I'm wired in. Is your Superdisplay connected via usb?
the thing is your tablet is not on a wired connection. it's really hard to compare the wireless and wired connection in terms of performance.
Please review Virtual Tablet as well, it also works with pressure sensitivity.
virtual tablet works just fine on my s4, but it has no screen mirroring
what kind of USB cable are you using?
what type of usb did you plug the tablet to ? 3.0 , 3.1 , 3.2 , 4 (thunderbolt 3) ? thx
It works with any of them,
I tried using both USB 2 and 3, but there was not any performance difference.
Do you just use a regular USB-C cable that comes with Tab S8 then connect to your windows computer through USB?
yes

should be able to mirror lightroom on your tablet
Does it work on Mac computers? Love your videos btw :)
it seems i have problem on my photoshop , the pen doesnt work , is there any setting to fix this?
is this better than duet display?
Can I use my iPad for Windows PC Display?
I'm using a local $180 stylus tablet kinda slow. But I don't know if the slowness came from my tablet or the 11y.o. XPS lol.
Is this possible on Chromebook and an Android tablet?
Just hit back and you can go into setting. You do not need to take the cord out.
What Cable Did You Use Link Plz
Can we do this on any android tablets
does anyone know why i cant use it on photoshop? the cursor is gone whenever i touch the canvas. Other than that it works wonderfully.
HI MR. Brad Colbow does easy canvas work on galzyxy tab s9 with macbook
Can it be used with usb A or only usb C?
Public Service Announcement: The Superdisplay developer hasn't dropped off the face of the earth. His is still accessible. I've made contact not too long ago. He hasn't forgotten about Superdisplay. It just hasn't needed updates. And he actually has a newer beta version of the app which (I think) is designed to work around the Ultra's camera notch. (The notch doesn't get in the way of any of my art apps, so I haven't tried it.)
On a different topic, I don't have any line pressure issues when I'm using desktop art apps through Superdisplay. And I use Superdisplay wired most the time.
Which apps dp you use?
@@LeksBallesta Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, ArtRage, Affinity Design, Concepts. To a lesser degree I play around with Krita.
Hello, you have better luck than me. I sent an email and a tweet kindly asking for help. The app is amazing and works flawlessly with my Galaxy Z fold 4 with S pen when I am using Windows 10. However when I am using windows 11 the button on the S pen doesn't work in photoshop or capture one or chrome. It right clicks if I right click on a blank space on the windows desktop, but not on any icons. On Windows 10 it does the right click function everyehere, but on windows 11 it doesn't function most of the time..
Can you please help me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I installed the drivers and have the same settings in both versions of windows and the android app, I can't figure out what's going on.
Thank you for your time and help.
@@Imwphotography The thing about Windows 11 is that all early adopters are taking a risk when it comes to software compatibility. I'm still on Windows 10 for this very reason.
Have you gotten a response back yet from either email or Twitter?
@@trenton9100% about windows 11. It came pre-installed on my Laptop. I haven't heard back from Superdisplay, but I will for sure post if I hear anything.
I downloaded it but it says trial expired when i didnt even tried it a little bit can someone tell it pleaseee because my mom or that wouldnt buy me that idk why its so cheap
I recently buyed this app
Can you use the super display only? And turn off the other monitor on the device?
yes
How does Super Display compare to Duet Display?
yeah no clue what I'm doing wrong but I'm not seeing my screen. I'm seeing a screen but it's not what's infront of me. any tips
Does it work for video games ? I mean no multiplayer games obviously but at least with 1 player games ?
You can use the app to set it up as a second monitor. So the answer is yes. I run games through it like that myself from time to time. Works great, particularly when connected via USB.
@@trenton9
Thanks, good to know !
Hey.
What about galaxy tab s3 is it working??!
between focus and screen flickering, the camera that filmed this video was rough lol
great info tho
Few things about the Play Store. 1. You can refund pretty much anything retroactively. 2. If the app wasn't updated for 2 years, it's highly likely it will soon disappear from the Store. It won't be removed, only it will be hidden for new users. So if you already bought it, it will be accessable to you.
The app was updated on 26 September 2023. It works with Android OS 5 and up. So it is good for a while yet.
While the pen/touch input function is great for drawing/surfing, the lack of true mouse input for a mouse attached to a tablet is missing. Could easily replace moonlight/parsec if not for this.
that's because it emulates your tablet or any android device to become a native external monitor or a wintab which makes it feel really native. as we know, the monitor alone doesn't need any mouse in it as it does not have an operating system.
4:13 Bro! He himself didn't liked his own Vdo! 💀😂🤣
With this, Sidecar and all the other alternative ways one can plug their tablet into their computer, it’s a bit of a shame the drawing performance has such a big drop when using these solutions.
The iPad and Galaxy tabs when using natively easily compare or even beat the screen tablets in drawing experience, then it all goes to shit when you plug it in to a computer.
Spacedesk is very similar to this for free. That is what I have been using with my S6 Lite.
How about the pressure sensitivity? is it work?
@@kaikekzdelameme2581 Yes, it works
Is Xiaomi Pad 6 supported?
Is this work with xiaomi tab?
Any delay?
Could you make the review of the Lenovo P11 plus review? Please! \o/
Você já tinha avaliado esse app quando ele tinha outro nome.
Nice!
is it possible to use it on an ipad or maybe an samsung android phone?thanks man
not possible with ipad. android device, yes. but android without pen support, i guess you're not going to enjoy it.
@@mksagal It does work on the Note models ( and later Ultra models that also have the S-pen) But not really ideal, the screen is way too small IMO
Do you guys use USBC to USBC or HDMI to USBC?
Usb to usb
can i use it on zbrush?
I was just looking how to do this
Is it damaging the tab battery or not?
It doesn't hurt the battery.
Is there a Mac alternative?
Just got it
Can u try review it on new 2022 s6 lite
Is this app work with xiaomi mipad 5? Thanks.
If it is an Android tablet, the answer would be 'yes.'
Can a usb-c to usb-a cable be used?
Yes!
