1) nView Modes
a) Single display
Selects the standard, single display mode. Use this mode if you have only one
display device attached to your NVIDIA graphics adapter.
b) Clone
This mode outputs an exact copy of the primary display on the secondary device.
c) Horizontal Span
This mode allows you to extend the Windows desktop across two display devices
horizontally. In this mode the two displays combine to form a wide, spanned display
surface, which is useful when viewing items that are wider than a single display.
d) Vertical Span
This mode allows you to extend the Windows desktop across two display devices
vertically. In this mode the two displays combine to form a tall, spanned display
surface, which is useful when viewing items that are larger than a single display.
2) Current Display
If more than one device is connected and you have switched to a mode other than the
Standard one, you can select the current display of your choice.
You can also click on the monitor image directly above the display control to select
it as the current display.
Notes:
nView Display Devices select:
First Display D-Sub Connector
Second Display DVI-I Connector
Third Display TV-out
3) Make this the primary display
Use this option to select which display contains the top left corner of the desktop.
The most obvious effect of this option is that it swaps the positions of the monitor
images.
4) Disable auto-panning on secondary device (viewport lock)
Turning on this feature locks the current pan position on the secondary clone display.
This lets you effectively freeze the virtual desktop at a certain position, which is
useful for presentations or fine-detailed work in applications.
