How to Use Samsung Tablet as Second Monitor in Windows 11

Do you wish to extend your PC screen to your Galaxy Tab for free and without an app? If that’s the case, then you’re at the right place. This post will show you how to use Samsung tablet as second monitor in Windows 11. 

In the meantime, tablets aren’t just for games and movies. With a Samsung Galaxy Tab, you can easily use it as a second screen for your computer using a feature called Second Screen. It’s a simple and handy way to connect the two devices!

Meanwhile, if you have a Samsung tablet running One UI 3.1 or a newer version, you’re in luck! As long as your PC is equipped with Windows 10 or a more recent version, you can seamlessly mirror its screen onto your Galaxy tablet. Plus, you have the added convenience of controlling your computer directly from your tablet’s screen.

This cool trick is available only on Galaxy Tab S7, S8, and S9 tablets with One UI 3.1 or later, and some PCs with Wireless Display that have the latest Windows 10 (version 2004 and newer). However, you can enable this handy feature if you’re using an older Galaxy Tab like S6.
