How to Use a Laptop Screen as an External Monitor [Tutorial]

Using an additional monitor for work is a fantastic productivity boost: no more split-screen action between Microsoft Word and Chrome. No more prioritizing which window goes on top. A multi-monitor setup also looks cool, and you can use the extra screen as a media display when not in use.

If you don't have an extra monitor but an extra laptop, you can turn the laptop into a sort of second screen. Here's how to use your laptop as an external monitor!

Adding a second monitor to your workstation is a great way to increase your productivity, and while the best computer monitors are great for this, you can also use your laptop as a second screen. This is very useful because you can save money by using a laptop you already own instead of buying a whole new external monitor. You will be able to do this as long as your main PC and laptop support Miracast wireless connectivity.
