Configuring DualView Settings
The settings in the DualView Settings panel (Figure 6.6) are explained in this
section.
Note: Refer to the Windows XP online Help and documentation for further
information on using these settings.
•The monitor icons area displays a monitor icon for each monitor attached to
your computer. If you are using just one monitor, that monitor shows the
relative size of items on your desktop, based on your current screen
resolution.
If you have more than one monitor installed, right-click a monitor icon, and
click Identify to see a number appear on the monitor corresponding to the
icon you clicked. The settings for that monitor appear in Display, Colors, and
Screen Area.
If more than one icon is displayed, drag them to the positions that represent
how you want to move items between monitors. For example, if you are
using two monitors and you want to move items from one monitor to the
other by dragging left and right, position the icons side by side. To move
items between monitors by dragging up and down, position the icons one
above the other. The icon positions don’t have to correspond to the physical
positions of your monitors. You can position the icons one above the other
even though your monitors are side by side.
•The Display window displays all installed video adapters. If you are using
more than one monitor, the adapter for your primary monitor is in position 1.
• Screen resolution displays the current screen resolution settings for the
monitor whose video adapter appears in the Display window. Drag the slider
to specify the screen resolution you want. As you increase the number of
pixels, you display more information on your screen, but the information
decreases in size.
• Color quality displays the current color settings for the monitor attached to
the video adapter that appears in the Display window.To use a different color
settings, click the arrow, and then click a setting.
• Use this device as the primary monitor, when checked, specifies that the
monitor corresponding to the icon you selected above is the primary monitor.
The primary monitor will display the logon dialog box when you start your
computer. In addition, most programs will display windows on the primary
monitor when you initially open them.
Note: On a laptop computer, the primary display is always the LCD display
screen.
