5.1.2 Using Extend Mode
Use the
Extend
mode to display different content on each display screen. In
Extend
mode,
the display attached to the A/V Adapter becomes an extended part of the Windows desktop.
The extra desktop area is a great productivity aid, allowing you to view or work with more
applications or documents at the same time. You can also use this mode to extend your
desktop to fill multiple screens that are positioned next to each other for a larger continuous
work space.

5.1.3 Laptop Operation with the Lid Closed
You can work conveniently with a laptop by setting its default action upon closing the lid to
"
Do nothing
" (to prevent the laptop from entering "sleep" or "hibernation" mode,
Control
Panel > Power Options, "When I close the lid:" - "Do nothing"
), and then set the A/V
Adapter screen as the primary display while disabling the main screen (see Sec.
5.3.5 Setting
the A/V Adapter as the Primary Display).
The laptop lid can then be closed, and the laptop can be used with the A/V Adapter screen
and an external keyboard and mouse attached to the laptop. This configuration can be used
together with either Mirror mode or Extend mode.
5.1.4 External Display Only
When you want to use the external display only, (see Sec.
5.3.5 Setting the A/V Adapter as
the Primary Display), you can close your main monitor and view movies on the external
display attached to the A/V Adapter.
