signals. This means it supports either of these two connection types:
User Manual English

It can be connected to a DVI-D (digital) monitor using a DVI cable
(not provided)
Or, it can be connected to an analog VGA monitor using the provided
DVI-I to VGA adapter and a VGA cable (not provided).
After you have connected the adapter, Windows will automatically complete the

monitor.
For Windows Vista, if the add-on monitor is blank, please reboot your system
again.
If required, you can connect and disconnect the add-on monitor any time without
disconnecting the adapter from the USB port on your computer.
To change the display mode, see next chapter for instructions.
During the installation, it’s normal that the screen flicks black a couple of times.
Sometimes it takes time for the add-on monitor to show the video.

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.

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.

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.

mode, follow these steps:

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

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.

To configure the three components (resolution, color depth and refresh rate) of a screen

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.
