I started using it on my phone, but now I use it on my Macbook Pro through Steam, and I can keep D&D Beyond open in a browser on one desktop then sideswipe to the desktop that has the app running. I was able to use my own 40" screen, make a frame from 1x3, buy the app, and purchase a Googlecast attachment all for under $50. It has a simple map-making interface that my group doesn't use, but it is simple and effective-it comes with token options and drawing capacity. I can use whatever maps/imagery I want in jpg form, which I can scale up and down to make bigger or smaller. I specifically bought D&D Beyond because I didn't want all the goo-gah that goes with Fantasy Grounds and Roll20. It has a LOT of features you can check out yourself here: It does not come with dynamic lighting-only Fog of War that is manually controlled by the DM. It doesn't require a monthly fee, nor 2 computers to work-you need a phone and a TV with Chromecast or AppleTV attachments (which can be purchased separately if you have an older TV). It is not a VTT-it is for in-person gaming specifically. You can upload whatever maps or imagery you want.

It can be used with Android as well as iOS and through Steam. Koren (and any others who are curious), I use an app called InfinitasDM. It was frustrating enough that I plan on trying out every other available option before going back to MapTool when I get back into the position of being able to use a monitor to display maps for my sessions. Though one time I did manage to create a different problem by having too many high-resolution images involved so there was pronounced lag when switching maps or moving tokens/templates (but cutting my resolution from 300 ppi to 100 ppi was an easy fix that didn't make things look too awful). Usually it was that my computers, with an otherwise perfectly functioning network connection between them, couldn't see each other through MapTool until I re-did all the fiddling with settings that it took to get them connected through MapTool on the previous use. However, I seemed to always run into one issue or another while trying to set up and run a session.
I used to use MapTool, specifically because it had what I guess is referred to as "dynamic lighting" (auto-updating line of sight, plus fog of war) and I could put in area effect templates.
