Android Apps to Duplicate Computer Display

Question

I'm seeking an app that will display a copy of my Windows laptop screen on my Android tablet, through a wireless connection. Since the goal is to monitor a finicky bot on my laptop which depends upon mouse position, etc., to prevent accidental interference with the bot, the app shouldn't allow input from the tablet to the laptop (or better yet, it could have a setting to toggle input on or off at will). What options are available?

Requirements

• Wireless
• No tablet to laptop input (or preferably a setting)
• Free
