Display Modes

There are several ways you can utilize the monitor attached on the adapter. The add-on

monitor can be configured to use either “mirror mode”, “extended mode” or be the

primary display as described in this section.

Extend Your Windows Desktop to Add-on Monitor (Default)

In this so-called “extended mode”, your display will be spread over the add-on monitor(s).

This mode allows you to perform multiple tasks more effectively without overlapping

windows.

windows over to your second monitor. However, note that some applications may not

support display on the extended desktop.

Cursor disappeared?

If you’re in extended mode but the add-on monitor is not connected, the desktop still

pans to the add-on monitor and it’s possible that your cursor has moved to the extended

desktop so that you cannot find it on the primary display. To solve the problem in such a

case, connect the add-on monitor to the adapter or keep moving your mouse to try or

unplug the adapter first to restore the cursor.

Video and DVD Playback in Extended Mode

On Windows Vista with extended mode, it’s suggested that you run video or DVD

playback programs on your primary monitor instead of the add-on monitor to ensure the

playback performance.

Mirror Your Windows Desktop

This mode is referred to as “mirror” or “clone” mode. In this mode, your original screen

(the primary display) will be mirrored to the add-on monitor.

Manual Setting

In mirror mode, the adapter will automatically select the settings (screen resolution, color

quality and refresh rate) for the add-on monitor. But you can manually adjust the settings

as required. However, the settings of the add-on monitor are limited by that of the

primary monitor. For example, even though your add-on monitor supports a resolution of

up to 1920x1080, you can only configure it to use 1280x1024 due to the primary monitor

only supports a resolution of up to 1280x1024.

If you change the video output to extended mode and then want to switch back to mirror

mode, follow these steps:

screen.

The add-on monitor stays primary if the PC enters hibernate or suspend mode or is

rebooted. If the add-on monitor is unplugged, the main display becomes primary

again.

Adjusting Resolution, Colour Depth and Refresh Rate

There are three components that make up the screen mode:

Resolution:

In common usage, this refers to the number of pixels displayed on screen

horizontally and vertically.

Color Depth:

This defines the number of different colors that can be shown on the

screen at the same time.

Refresh rate:

Measures the speed that the entire screen is rescanned. Higher

frequencies reduce flicker.

Some monitors advertise the supported modes through the video connector. If this is the

case, the adapter identifies the supported modes from the monitor. If the monitor does

not advertise the supported modes, the adapter software chooses a set of common

screen modes for the monitor.

About the resolutions and refresh rates available to users

The resolutions and refresh rates available to the user through Windows are a

comprise of the support from the following elements:



The USB display adapter



The primary monitor and the add-on monitor



The primary video card on your computer and installed drivers

Therefore, for example, if your monitor doesn’t support a resolution of

1920x1080, then 1920x1080 is not possible even if you are using a USB

display adapter with 1920x1080 support. This ensures that the monitor cannot

be put into an unsupported mode, which might damage it.

User Manual English

18

If cloning the primary display, the video component will try to use the preferred monitor

mode. In some cases, this may not be the most appropriate mode for the cloned desktop.

It is recommended that the primary display resolution be changed to closer match the

default resolution of the add-on monitor.

Standby and Hibernate, Shut Down and Restart

When the adapter is connected to a computer and an external monitor, if the computer

goes into standby or hibernate mode, the external monitor display goes blank.

When the computer returns to an active state, the external monitor display keeps the

same settings it had before the computer went into standby or hibernate mode. However,

if the add-on monitor was set for extended mode, windows that were previously on the

external monitor will not move back to that secondary monitor. Also, if the add-on monitor

is in extended mode and the computer requires a login after standby or hibernate mode,

the login screen appears on the primary computer monitor, not the external monitor.

If the computer is shut down, restarted and logged in, again the add-on monitor returns to

the same mode as it was before shutdown.
