Hello,
I have a Max 2 Pro (4 GB RAM version). I have a very UNPOPULAR suggestion for you. I use Splashtop Personal Streamer (Macbook Pro & works with my Windows laptops) and Spacedesk (works with Windows laptops).

For me VNC caused issues. I use the lower resolutions options for working with text documents etc with both Splashtop and Spacedesk. I connect my Max2 Pro with a Bluetooth Logitech K480 which has a slot for placing the tablet (ie, Max 2 Pro). I use the stylus as the mouse (as there is wacom input while running these apps). I prefer Splashtop as I can choose the audio output source either through the laptop speakers or via Max 2 Pro (connected to Bluetooth speakers). Otherwise the stylus as a mouse works fine with both.
As I say its not perfect, but I prefer these apps to the Monitor mode for portability (not tied to cables) and the ability to use the stylus as a mouse.

Of course, if you want the best resolution I think you have to install and run the monitor app mod developed by "mdp". This does provide touch support on screen.
I thought I would mention what I have been using. As I said its a very UNPOPULAR suggestion, but I have been happily using this lazy approach, ie: Splashtop with my Macbook Pro and Dell Latitude/Thinkpad etc, for the past 4 months.

I hope you can get your Max 2 working in the Monitor mode. Goodluck!!
