Using the Dual Display Function

The dual display function allows you to distribute portions of your desktop across separate displays. For example, if you have an external monitor attached to the monitor connector, your LCD display and the monitor can function as a single desktop. You can move the cursor off one display and onto the other. This allows you to drag objects, such as an open application window or a toolbar, from one display to the other. This configuration of a single desktop distributed across separate displays is referred to as a virtual desktop.
