Windows tablet as a midi controller, second monitor.

[xabkr]

Hi fellows. I am sure this had been talked about, but I am having difficulty in finding proper threads.

My setup is a i7 Windows 10 laptop. I want to use a Windows based tablet as a midi controller.. For triggering chords and maybe few effect sliders / faders. I know there is whole bunch of apps for ipad and android to connect to PC to use a secondary monitor or controller, but would prefer a to use a Windows tablet.

There are two main approaches for what I want to accomplish.
1) Use the software within the tablet and do a session like midi RTP... which is doable, but which also I find quite clumsy and not stable
2)Try to use a Windows tablet as a secondary monitor...which I would prefer. The easiest way would be to use native windows "Miracast" ("Wireless monitor") but I am not sure if the latency would be a major issue.
And I guess this is my main question.Did anybody successfully tried windows tablets as wireless midi controllers using Windows "connect to wireless display" option?

Question part "B" Is there a way to connect a Windows tablet to be used as a second monitor via single USB3 cable?

Would appreciate feedback on this very much.
Thank you.

Since some time ago I too have been wanting to use a tablet as a 2nd monitor -- but without having to use any apps that connect over LAN, as that introduces terrible latency and that would defeat my purpose (namely having a VST open in it to be controlled in real time from my Novation ReMote, while Cubase would be taking all my main screen).
Well, some time ago I did find a tablet model that really had a dedicated input (a mini-HDMI input) to be used as a 2nd monitor! -- but unfortunately it was a model that was no longer being produced... Actually it was a hybrid tablet/mini-laptop, the screen could be undocked from the small keyboard and it was not even very expensive (€300) and it was this: ACER SW3-013-19GV (10.1" High Res screen) -- and, after hours of googling around, it was the only model I found that had that capability!
So, I went to the store and I found out that this model was no longer in stock, but they told me that they had a newer Acer model that also could be used as a 2nd monitor, only difference being that when I inspected it I couldn't find any input on it (the model I'd found on google had 2 dedicated hdmi ports, one for output and another for input). The store guy told me the new model's single mini-hdmi was both input and output and that it had some kind of automatic signal detection to be used both ways -- well, as I've been burned before with false information from store employees, I didn't buy it, but asked if I could bring my laptop to check if it worked as he said, and he said it would be OK, but as I live in another town I still didn't go back there to try it...
