Video and DVD Playback in Extened 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 video component 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 1680x1050, 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:

1. Position the mouse anywhere on your computer desktop, right-click and select
