Definition Multimedia Interface) cable connected to the HDMI-Out port (if you are
using an older type of monitor you can use a converter to convert the signal from
DVI to VGA) or DisplayPort cable connected to the DisplayPort, to connect an ex-

Single One of the connected displays is used as the display device
Clone Displays
Clone simply shows an exact copy of the Primary display desktop on
the other display(s). This mode will drive multiple displays with the
same content
Extend

act as a virtual desktop resulting in a large workspace. When enabled,
you can drag any icons or windows across to the other display desktop.
It is therefore possible to have one program visible in one of the
displays, and a different program visible in the other display
