Now, with the release of macOS Mojave 10.14.2 and version 2.0.3.8 of the macOS app, users can take full advantage of Duet's capabilities thanks to full hardware acceleration support.

In practice, we are talking about something invisible to the user but that greatly improves the performance of the app. That is to say, not so invisible, since you are no longer restricted to 16: 9 format with black bars, iPad now appears as a real external display in macOS settings. Very good!
