Possible to use 2 iPads as external displays w/ custom resolutions?

[bpet221]

Hi @waydabber BetterDisplay worked great for my iPad Pro 13in when I used custom res on a virtual display w/ sidecar. But when I tried using my old iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen with DUET at same time + a 2nd Virtual Display (BetterDisplay). When I mirror it with DUET it disconnects.

Im thinking it's either a problem with DUET
OR
BD Virtual Display limits to one at a time?

Any ideas or workarounds for this? Thanks!

Hi, just following up on this. Any insights or updates would be appreciated!

Hi there - I think it should be possible to have two iPads. Multiple virtual screens should work as well. Not sure about DUET as I don't have this product so can't test the setup - what exactly is being disconnected? :)

It just quits the DUET app on the iPad and disconnects when I try to enable the virtual display.

Yesterday I played around with it some more and it kinda worked with virtual display when I set the mirroring to be forced in better display. But I could not move my cursor to the iPad using DUET/BDvirtualdisplay that was showing the custom resolution.

It seems like it's close to working but is buggy.

...Im open to another solution that doesn't use DUET too if you know of any that would be great too. Just want to be able to use to iPads as external displays at custom resolutions.

Thanks @waydabber

I think native Sidecar will work with one iPad only. I am not sure why DUET disconnects (I don't have DUET so have no experience with it). Can't you mirror or stream a virtual screen to the DUET display?

Not really its too buggy with DUET.

Now if BetterDisplay could force apples sidecar to work with 2 iPads at once... now that would be really cool. Probably hard to do with access apple gives for it...

Is there another option that does not use DUET or Luna Display that you think could work alongside BD? Like a vnc server maybe
