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 display attached to the monitor connector, your notebook’s LCD display and the external display can function as a single desktop. You can move the cursor off of 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.
