Display Modes

There are several ways you can utilize the monitor attached on the docking station.
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.
