Be the Primary Monitor

To make the add-on monitor the primary display:

1. Position the mouse anywhere on your computer desktop, right-click and select

Personalize > Display Settings on Vista or Properties > Settings on

XP/2000.

2. In the Display drop-down menu, select the option ends with DisplayLink

Graphics Adapter.

3. Check the This is my main monitor box on Vista or Use this device as the

primary monitor box on XP/2000.

On some PCs and laptops it is necessary to disable the main display (i.e.

uncheck the Extend the desktop onto this monitor or Extend my Windows

desktop onto this monitor box for the main display) as part of the same

settings change.

4. Click OK to close the settings screen.

The add-on monitor stays primary if the PC enters hibernate or suspend mode

or is rebooted. If the add-on monitor is unplugged, the main display becomes

primary again.

Adjusting Resolution, Color Depth and Refresh Rate

There are three components that make up the screen mode:

Resolution: In common usage, this refers to the number of pixels displayed on

screen horizontally and vertically.

Color Depth: This defines the number of different colors that can be shown on the

screen at the same time.

Refresh rate: Measures the speed that the entire screen is rescanned. Higher

frequencies reduce flicker.

Some monitors advertise the supported modes through the video connector. If this

is the case, the video component identifies the supported modes from the monitor.

If the monitor does not advertise the supported modes, the video software chooses

a set of common screen modes for the monitor.
