Certain apps may not be compatible with the Multiple Monitors settings.

cause unsuccessful playback/display or unstable system operations.
Change the display settings after you exit the video/image app.

You can set the screen resolution for each display used for the Multiple Monitors function.

press the Enter key.
The display switch may become unavailable or your VAIO computer may become unstable
