Displays Manager

The Displays Manager aspect is the central location for configuring your display devices and arranging your desktop. Use the Displays Manager aspect to quickly change your display setup, arrange your desktop in a multi-monitor environment, and enable TV Out.

Those new to the Catalyst™ Control Center may use the Basic View wizard to help you configure your display preferences. Experienced users who prefer to manually configure their desktop setting should use the Advanced View.
