It can be a little awkward to trigger the Dock when it is set up to appear and hide automatically.Īnnoyingly, using Air Display appears to prevent using Apple Watch to unlock the host Mac, the MBP in my case. This should be a Mac OS feature anyway, but it currently requires a couple of minutes of fiddling whenever one adds the extra Air Display to the three physical screens already in use.Īir Display worked fine via my wifi set-up, without any discernible lag, but is now working via Thunderbolt cable between the two Macs. Most importantly, it needs a mechanism to save the monitor set-up, rather than having to play around in Settings / Display when one adds the additional Air Display screen.
