The original wireless display app, iDisplay, is yet another option. From the very first day, this app has been plagued with slow refresh rates and a buggy experience. There have been improvements to the app over the past year, but it is still not at a high enough level to recommend. The good news is the app will run on Windows and Macs and the developers are hard at work to make it even better.
