You can use PC as a second screen for your Mac but you cannot use Mac or any mobile device as a second screen for your Windows. I read the FAQs section and it says they are working on a solution, but it also says that they are not “close enough” to provide an ETA.
PS4 Second Screen is an application that will allow us to synchronize our Android device with our Playstation 4 console. To be able to use the app, of course, we will need to first identify with our registered Playstation user account.
The first provision of PS4 Second Screen will allow us to navigate through the menus of our console comfortably. Another very useful feature will allow us to enter text on the Playstation 4, using the keyboard of our Android device.
The other interesting feature of PS4 Second Screen will allow us to use the device as a second screen. It is important to keep in mind, however, that not all games are compatible with this feature, and that many of them may not allow us to do anything.
PS4 Second Screen is an interesting application, thanks to which we can more comfortably control some of the basic features of our Playstation 4. Enter text, for example, is much more comfortable with the keyboard of our Android device than with the Dualshock.

Can the iPad models be used as an external display for a Mac or PC? How?
The iPad models were not designed to be used as a second display for a Mac or PC and Apple doesn't provide this capability out of the box. However, it is quite possible to use any iPad running iOS 7 or later as an external display with third-party software (only the original iPad is not capable of running iOS 7 or later).
If it's been a while since you've experimented with this type of software, early versions effectively 'faked' using the iPad as a second display on a Mac by connecting over Wi-Fi via a VPN server.
In our experience, connecting over Wi-Fi effectively has too much lag time to work as a monitor, but it might work well enough with up-to-date hardware connecting to a particularly fast network. Modern versions of these apps almost all connect -- or at least have the option to connect -- directly via Lightning or 30-pin which essentially eliminates lag time altogether.
iPad External Display Software for Mac & Windows
Four apps worth considering to use your iPad as a second display with your Mac or PC include Duet Display, AirDisplay, iDisplay, and Splashtop XDisplay.
All four apps work in effectively the same way with one app for the iPad and a companion app installed on the 'paired' computer.
Duet Display
Reportedly designed by former Apple engineers, Duet Display widely is considered to be the leader for this type of app. After being disappointed by an earlier app from another company, EveryiPad.com discovered this app and found it to work well. It only connects via 30-pin or Lightning and does not offer a Wi-Fi connected solution.
Duet Display is compatible with Macs running OS X 10.9 or higher and Windows 7 and higher as well as all iPad models running iOS 7 or later.
iDisplay
Early versions of iDisplay only connected an iPad to a computer via Wi-Fi, but the current version supports both direct cable connection and Wi-Fi options.
iDisplay is compatible with OS X 10.9 or higher and Windows XP or higher and all iPad models running iOS 7 or later.
AirDisplay
AirDisplay connects an iPad to a Mac via Wi-Fi. It does not support direct cable connections nor does the current version support Windows.
AirDisplay is compatible with Macs running OS X 10.8 or higher and iPad models running iOS 7 or later.
Splashtop XDisplay
Splashtop XDisplay is a more recent entry to the game, but from a developer with extensive experience developing iOS business apps.
Splashtop XDisplay is compatible with Macs running OS X 10.9 or higher and Windows 7 or higher and all iPad models running iOS 7 or higher.
Of these four apps, EveryiPad.com would suggest Duet Display as is a well designed app and one that we have used personally, although it is the most expensive.
iDisplay is well worth considering particularly if you have an older Windows PC running Windows XP and AirDisplay is well worth considering if you have a Mac running OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and a strong Wi-Fi connection. Splashtop XDisplay has a more barebones interface, but it is cheap.
iPad as Second Display Summary
Ultimately, although the apps themselves are inexpensive, the iPad itself is too expensive just to use as a second display for a Mac or Windows PC. However, if you have an iPad that you carry with you in addition to a notebook computer, using the iPad both as a tablet and as a second display can be a convenient way to save space when traveling.
Using an older iPad as a second display also is a good way to repurpose it at home if you have subsequently purchased a newer iPad and you would like to add another smaller external monitor to an existing multi-display Mac setup (or you do not currently have sufficient funds to just purchase an external monitor for your Mac or Windows PC).
On the other hand, if your primary interest in using an iPad as a second display is a compact, lightweight external display, you might prefer to instead purchase a travel monitor like the Mac compatible Asus MB169+ USB Portable Monitor. It is physically larger than an iPad, and doesn't work as a tablet computer, but it doesn't weigh much more and has a greater viewable area.
