Configure the display settings
The following are instructions to set up the two most common multiple display configurations:
Presentation or Clone: This displays the same (Clone) image on both displays. This configuration is most
commonly used for presentations; that is, the presenter works from a smaller monitor while the
audience views the presenter’s work from a larger TV, monitor, or projector.
Extending the desktop: The Windows desktop or work area extends across both displays. This
configuration is most commonly used to get more workspace. People usually take advantage of the
extra workspace to view different applications on different displays.
Presentation or clone
