Using a Tablet for Neptune Apex Display (1 Viewer)

[gregg]

So i want to upgrade my display on my apex to something larger than the display that came with it. Has anyone done this using a tablet? If so, i'd sure like to hear about your setup and how you achieved this. What type tablet would I need to get? Are there specific specifications i need to look for to make sure i get the most out of the display like allows being on or displaying more content from the fusion app?

I just installed a cheapie used iPad. bought it off fleabay for 50 bux. Link HERE The seller is local. I had an issue (itunes locked), stopped by and they swapped me out in a jiffy. I have it plugged into on of my controllable USB ports on my controller, easy peasy. I have the screen setup to never off. I might schedule it on/off later on. I can also toggle to my Mastertronic screen if i want but really dont need to since everything is pulled into the Hydros anyway.

I like using the Amazon fire tablet with 8” monitor based on Neptune’s recommendation. worked perfectly till one day I smashed it because my water parameters were out of wack

brand new $50.

I would go with a cheap Amazon tablet, but you’d need to “jail break” it a little for it to work. That’s what I did with mine, and it works fine.

I’ve got an old school iPad 1st gen, plan to do the same thing. Following.

anyone know how to change the fusion dashboard to dark mode on a PC?

^^^Change your setting to dark mode in phone first then the PC will display dark.
