Duet Display (actually makes your iPad a real second monitor)

I've tried AirDisplay and it just didn't work, Duet Display does.
Duet actually uses your lightning or 30 pin cable to turn your iPad into a second display and that's really what it does. I just tested it with a music video I'm working on and I put my viewers on the iPad and it played back all 16 simultaneous angles exactly the same as it does any other external display. I still had to use proxy media because even without the display my maxed out brand new rMBP can't handle that.
The only issue is that you can't set the rMBP monitor to "more space", but that's not too big of a deal considering I can dump my viewers to my iPad now. I've also noticed that it does make my computer run at about 140 degrees instead of 111. I'm using iStat pro to monitor my settings and adjust fan speed if needed, I also have a laptop cooling pad as well. So if you do get this, just keep an eye on your computer temp.
It's on sale for $10 today, normally $15 I think. If you have an iPad and a MBP, it's totally worth it to get this app, it's going to make being mobile even better.
