Extend
Select this option to display an extension of your active Windows desktop on the

view more applications or documents at the same time. The display is extended in the
direction it was in the last time that the display was in Extend mode.
For more control, click

and select one of the options. This puts the display
into Extend mode and places the display to the right or left, above, or below the
primary display.

connected to the docking station. The resolution, color depth, and refresh rate of the

display, the system’s primary graphics adapter scales all of the settings to a lower
specification to maintain a uniform aspect ratio.

priority with applications.
