Extend 

The Extend option sets your laptop screen as the primary display and the attached monitor as 
the extended display. 

Notebook Monitor Off 

The Notebook Monitor off option sets the attached monitor as the primary display and turns 
your laptop screen off. You would typically use this mode when your laptop is closed, as with 
some proprietary docking stations. 

Mirror 

With the Mirror option, both the laptop screen and the attached monitor show the same 
(primary) display.  
 
Note: Notebook and monitor screens often have different aspect ratios. In this case, the 
software adjusts the scale of the display so that it most closely matches the display of the 
laptop screen. If the laptop screen is a widescreen (for example, 1280 X 800) format and the 
monitor is a standard (1280 X 1024) format, the display on the standard screen shows 
unusable black areas above and below the active area. 

Off 

The Off option turns your attached monitor display off. Any items from this display move back 
to your laptop screen.  
 
Note: On Docking Stations, you can also turn the attached monitor display off by pressing and 
holding the Dualview button for three seconds. 

 

 
Using the Taskbar Menu 

When the Docking Station or Multi-Display Adapter is plugged into your laptop, an icon 

appears in the Windows taskbar at the lower-right corner of your screen. Click this icon 
 to bring up a menu of options for configuring the video settings.
