Enable Low Resolution mode

laptop/PC is turned on or rebooted.

Windows 7/8 Viewing Configuration

Mirroring
By default, ScreenBeam Wireless Display mirrors the screen on your compatible

Windows 7/8 laptop, Miracast device, or laptop with Intel WiDi (3.5 or higher) on

the HDTV monitor.

Extended Desktop
ScreenBeam can be used to take advantage of Windows Extended Desktop mode

on the laptop/PC, which creates a single desktop that stretches across both the

laptop/PC screen and the HDTV monitor. To use Extended Desktop, toggle the

display output type on the Windows 7/8 laptop/PC. Additionally, you can use a hot

key, or manually configure it from the system’s Display settings. Refer to your lap-

top/PC user guide for more information.
