Changing the Display Settings

1After you connect the TV, turn on the computer.

The Microsoft® Windows® desktop displays on the monitor.

2Enable clone mode or extended desktop mode in the display settings.

In clone mode, the monitor and TV display the same image.

In extended desktop mode, you can drag objects from one screen to the other, effectively doubling the amount of viewable work space.

For information on changing the display settings for your graphics card, see the user’s guide in the Help and Support Center (click the Start button, click Help and Support, click User and system guides, click Device guides, and then click the guide for your graphics card).
