Extend
The monitor(s) attached to the Docking Station displays an extension of the user’s
active Windows desktop. The extra desktop area is a great productivity aid, allowing
more applications or documents to be visible at a time. The device is now extended
in the direction it was the last time the display was in this mode. For more control,
use the “Extend To” submenu and select one of the options. This puts the device
into extend mode, and places it to the Right/Left/Above/Below the main (primary)
monitor.
Mirror
The monitor(s) attached to the Docking Station displays a duplication of the
primary display. The resolution, color depth and refresh rate of the primary screen
are replicated on the monitor(s) connected to the Docking Station.
Note: If the monitor(s) used are of different specifications, the system’s primary
graphics adapter will scale all settings to lower specification to maintain a uniform
aspect ratio.
