Using External Display Devices
Using external display devices such as a monitor, projector, TV, etc allows you to view screen images alternatively or simultaneously on each device. You can also split a screen into two display devices, or view different images on each display device. Using external display devices is especially useful when you are giving a presentation or watching a movie through your TV.
