5.1.1 Using Mirror Mode
Mirror mode is used to display the identical content on the additional screen as is shown on the main PC/Lap-
top screen. Mirror mode is generally used to display the PC contents on a larger or higher definition display.

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 DisplayDock becomes an extended part of the Windows desktop. The extra desktop area is a great pro-
ductivity 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.
