usbmobilemonitor
I have been using it to stream my desktop to my C67ML_Carta via usb.
Price: Free
1. Screen can be touched to simulate mouse events
2. It works by streaming images, whose quality can be reduced to increase speed, like eMonitor for kindle. But the best quality (png) is quite fast.
3. I have used it to type for hours at a time, typing on the laptop keyboard with the laptop's display turned off.
4. It has an option to select which monitor to show, so in windows, I added an 800x600 landscape monitor to my display settings (using the detect monitor method) and switched to that display to turn my laptop screen off.
5. Screen can be pinch zoomed.
6. Works well while editing docs, typing, presentations, viewing lecture videos, etc
7. No need to launch an app on the laptop or on the onyx.
8. No battey drain, as it is working over usb.
If connected to the laptop before booting, login screen will automatically be cast to the onyx. Similarly, as soon as you plug the usb cable, the app starts on its own on the onyx (optional). So you can switch the laptop on, work on it and exit it, without turning on the laptop's display for once.
Cons:
1. I cannot see the mouse pointer. So either install a software that displays the pointer, or use keyboard shortcuts while browsing.
Scrolling with the mouse works great. And the mouse pointer is there, you just cant see it.
2. Crashes my older laptop sometimes. Works fine on the newer one.
3. To exit the app when in fullscreen: long press the left page turn button to bring the menu. Press settings, now you can click on the home on the task bar to exit the app.
4. Not too many options to adjust. Quite minimal, which is a pro in my opinion.
