Hi, I’m PR Chapagain from Merotips.com. Want to boost your productivity by turning your phone into a second screen? In this guide, I’ll show you two easy methods to use your Android phone as an external monitor for your Windows PC — wirelessly and using USB.

🔧 Method 1: Use Spacedesk (Wireless - Free)

On your PC, go to spacedesk.net and install the Windows driver.

1. Install the Spacedesk app on your Android from the Google Play Store.
2. Connect both devices to the same WiFi network.
3. Open the app on your phone – it will detect your PC automatically.
4. Tap to connect. Your Android screen will now act as a second monitor!

👉 Tip: Turn your phone to landscape mode and use a phone stand for a better view.

🔌 Method 2: Use Duet Display (USB Method)

Download Duet Display for Windows/macOS from duetdisplay.com

1. Install the Duet app on your Android phone (paid app, but offers stable performance).
2. Connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable.
3. Open the app on both devices – the screen should connect automatically.
