- 4K and 5K Resolution: Now you can use your 4K or 5K computer as a second display at the full resolution. Visit Luna's "Preferences" menu to customize your refresh rate for your display resolution. *Note: 5K support requires a USB-C Luna. Resolutions beyond 4K require macOS Big Sur or later.

- Teleprompter Mode for PC: Pair Luna Display with a beam splitter to give direct eye contact during video calls. Teleprompter Mode automatically flips your display image, so that your beam splitter reflects the correct image orientation. To enable Teleprompter Mode, go to Luna's "Preferences" menu on the desktop app, then the [Advanced] tab. Check the box next to [Enable Teleprompter Mode].

- Magic Keyboard Support: Now you can use a Magic Keyboard and trackpad with your iPad while using Luna Display. This new feature works for both Mac and PC.

- Office Mode for PC: Designed for users who commonly work in an environment where multiple people are using Luna.
