Experience with LunaDisplay?

1

I’m interested in using a LunaDisplay to connect M2 MBP with a 2017 5K iMac. Do any readers have experience with this setup or similar?

FWIW, my primary use will be Lightroom.

There are some older posts on the forum about Luna. I’m looking for more recent experience, if any.

Thanks in advance for any guidance. – jay

I assumed that it would get sherlocked when Apple announced Universal Control.

Can you elaborate? I don’t see the relationship between Universal Control and LunaDisplay as a means to use old iMac as an external monitor.

I meant Sidecar, sorry. I forgot it didn’t work with two Macs. So ignore what I just said.

I thought their response was awesome, both how they ultimately became a more sustainable business and their attitude about it. I’m specifically thinking of this retrospective article and this interview.

(Just an aside–carry on.)

Thanks for clarification. To regain focus of this thread :wink: I’ll ask again if anyone has feedback or experience on use of LunaDisplay as I describe. Thanks!!

Great advice. I forgot about Duet Display. Will definitely check it out. Thanks

In the spirit of follow-up… I’ve tried DuetDisplay and it works suprisingly well, at least for Lightroom use. Screen lag isn’t too bad and image quality is fine.

However, the cursor latency is not good. Noticeable lag that really impacts user experience.

I ended up purchasing a LunaDisplay. Unfortunately, I’m returning it. It works well (when connected via wire) with everything with exception of Lightroom. LR will occasionally get into a mode where there is constant refresh of the external monitor display. It is unusable.

The support team has been unable to offer any suggestions to improve the LR experience.
