display is an extension of the Windows desktop, and will be extended
to the right of the main display. Moving the mouse of the right hand
side of the display will move it onto the extended screen. The relative
positions of the extended displays can be configured and is described
below.
2. Mirror!(also known as clone or duplicate) mode: The DisplayLink
display mirrors the content of you main display. Note that in mirror
mode, both displays must have the same resolution, which may not be
optimal for the display. This can make the desktop look stretched or
scaled and there could be black borders around the image on the
screen.
3. Primary or Replace mode: The DisplayLink is the main Windows
display. Replace mode extends primary mode by also disabling the
laptop or tablet screen while connected to the DisplayLink device. This
mode is used if wanting to use your!laptop with the lid closed.

‘Displays’ from the ‘System Preferences’ menu. This will open a ‘Display
Preferences’ window on each of your attached displays allowing you to
configure each display as required.!
It is possible to use the ‘Gather Windows’ button to bring all the ‘Display
Preferences’ windows onto the main display.
Setting the Display Resolutions
To change the display’s resolution, select an available resolution from the
Display Preferences window of the display you wish to change:
The resolutions available depend on both the DisplayLink enabled product
and the capabilities of the connected display.
If you wish to rotate your display, you can configure the orientation using the
‘Rotate’ drop down. Select the appropriate angle of rotation to match your
display’s set up.
Setting the Position of Displays
If your computer is connected to more than two displays, you can specify
that some are mirrored displays and others show the extended desktop. A
mirrored display shows the same content as the main display whereas an
extended display will be an extension to your existing desktop. You can
arrange your displays so that they match the physical layout of your displays
by selecting the ‘Arrangement’ pane within Display Preferences. This
ensures that you can easily navigate between all connected displays.

move then drag it to the desired position. The display will be highlighted with
a red border whilst you are moving the display to its new position.

When in Mirror mode, additional displays will display what is being shown on
the primary display. Checking the “Mirror Display” on the ‘Arrangement’ pane
enables this feature.
SETTING THE DISPLAY TO EXTEND MODE
To extend connected displays, make sure that the “Mirror Display” on the
‘Arrangement’ pane is unchecked.
USING BOTH EXTENDED AND MIRRORED DISPLAYS
To work with both extended and mirrored displays, turn off mirroring then in
the Arrangement pane press and hold 'cmd' and 'alt' and drag and drop the
display you wish to mirror over the primary display. Repeat this with each
display you wish to mirror, those untouched will remain extending.
CHANGING THE MAIN DISPLAY
You can change which is the main display by moving the Menu Bar between
displays. Changing the main display affects where new windows appear and
the position of the Dock. The ‘Menu Bar’ can be moved so that it is shown on
an alternative display. Clicking the white menu bar and dragging it to the
