Pixelation is expected and by design. We are optimized for displaying high quality still images.

If a large change occurs on your Mac screen and we are unable to keep up, we show pixelated content. This is a signal that we don't have the full screen in yet, and that the screen image is loading. Astropad is honest, when the image is clear, you are assured what you see is the actual content, artifact free.

Sending high image quality over WiFi is really challenging. Ever wonder why we don't have wireless TVs? or Wireless computer displays? It's really really hard to do.

Well... we do have wireless TVs. They started that way.

I'm not sure what sense you mean "don't have" or "wireless". So first of all, props to ghostly_s, because in the '30's when serious TV experimentation started a lot of the tests were radio-wave based.
