Ask HN: Best way to screen share from mac to mac on local network?

1 points by dchuk 10y ago

I have a Plex server running on an old Macbook Air that I remote into currently with OSX's built in screen sharing. I only ever remote in from my local network, which is definitely not slow and is on a good router. The Air is fine when connected directly to a monitor, but remoting in with screen sharing is just god awful, feels like a frame or two a second. I leave the Air hooked up to my TV but ultimately its lid is shut all the time and I only ever remote in. Is there a better way to screen share from one mac to another that isn't slow as shit?

If it's that slow it sounds like something is wrong, I've only seen that sort of poor performance going international where bandwidth is limited (Thailand <> Australia)
