Luna Display does not support the newer Surface Laptop, Surface Pro, or Surface Studio devices. Luna is not recommended for use with mini Windows desktop PCs. 

Custom PCs: USB-C Luna units are not always compatible when plugged directly into motherboards or PCIe cards; we recommend that the Luna unit be plugged directly into the GPU. 

Secondary Device Requirements


iPad Requirements

For Computer-to-iPad Mode, the iPad must at least be running iOS 13.1 or later. 32-bit devices are not supported.

Luna Display does not officially support the Apple Vision Pro. Luna Display may not be compatible with the iPad Mini 6th Generation. 

Mac Requirements

For Computer-to-Mac Mode, the Secondary Mac must be running macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later. See Apple's support article for a list of Macs that can support macOS 10.13.

Note: Luna only supports the secondary iMac as a retina display when using a USB-C Luna. Otherwise, it will act as a non-retina display.


Is the Luna Display hardware required to run the apps?

Yes, the Luna Display hardware unit is required for all connections, whether you are connecting via Wi-Fi, Peer-to-Peer, or via cable (USB, Ethernet, or Thunderbolt). The apps will not work without the Luna Display hardware plugged into the primary Mac.

Luna Display only supports devices running macOS, iPadOS, and Windows 10. Luna does not work on Android, Linux, or ARM-based devices.
