Chapter 8 - Disable the notebook display

Some users may wish to disable their notebook display when using SideCar monitors. Reasons to disable the notebook display include:

ƒPreference to use only large desktop flat-panel displays or CRT monitors of equal size on the desktop (to a achieve a nearly seamless multi-monitor experience)

ƒPreference to use only remote monitors or projectors (such as at a trade show display or business presentation)

ƒPreference to use an external keyboard and leave the notebook computer closed and tucked out of the way on the desktop

ƒDissatisfaction with the performance/resolution of the notebook LCD display

Disabling the notebook display does not harm the display or render it unusable when the SideCar is detached from the notebook. If the user disables the notebook display and uses the SideCar monitors, and then later powers up the notebook without the SideCar attached (such as when traveling), Windows will revert automatically to using the notebook display.

Note that disabling the notebook display can cause temporary performance problems on some notebooks, and so should be tested only after you have used the SideCar in its standard arrangement as a supplement to the primary notebook LCD display. You will then be in a better position to observe any performance issues (system sluggishness, strange colors, etc.) resulting from deactivating the notebook LCD display.

To disable the notebook display:

1.Using the Display Properties dialog box, designate one of the SideCar monitors as your new primary monitor. (See “Designate a new primary monitor”, Chapter 8.)

2.Select the notebook LCD (#1), and unselect “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor”. (The #1 display shifts to the right and become grayed out.)
