Hi,
I want to setup the iPad as desktop computer with connecting to keyboard and by cable to monitor.
the only issue I see are the black bars on the sides of monitor. I understand this is resolution of iPad, but is there any way how to solve it?
thanks
Unlike PC and Mac computers, with which you are doubtless familiar, iPad doesn’t have the equivalent of an extended desktop - supporting content display across multiple displays.
Mirroring your iPad display to an external monitor will preserve the iPad aspect ratio. Viewing video from a video player App, such as YouTube, should display the video content in its native aspect ratio and resolution.
Put another way - when Mirroring your iPad display to an external monitor, expect to see black bars to infill where the iPad screen doesn’t match the monitor screen - whereas 16:9 video content will fill the screen of most 16:9 monitors.
One caveat, some monitors have settings that attempt to “stretch” the display content to match the aspect ratio of the display. This feature, if present, can introduce distortion (e.g., “people” develop strange proportions - such as short and wide).
I hope this explanation and clarification is helpful to you.
