Setting the DisplayLink Display to Mirror the Primary Screen
Mirror mode copies what is on the main display and reproduces it on the secondary display.
To set the display into Mirror Mode
1. Uncheck the Extend the desktop onto this monitor checkbox (1 in Figure 1).
2. Click Apply.
To set the display into Mirror mode using the DisplayLink menu
1. From the taskbar, click on the DisplayLink icon .
2. Select Mirror.
Note: The display resolution of the primary display and the DisplayLink display may be changed to a lower resolution.
In mirror mode, both screens must output the same resolution, which may not be the maximum resolution of the
display.
This mode is NOT recommended if using the DisplayLink display as the primary laptop display, as it is unlikely to
provide the optimum resolution for the DisplayLink display. Please see, Setting the DisplayLink display as the Primary
Display.
Setting the DisplayLink display as the Primary Display
To make the DisplayLink USB Graphics the Primary Display
1. Select the This is my main monitor checkbox (1 in Figure 1).
2. Click Apply.
Note: On some PCs and laptops it is necessary to disable the main display (clear the Extend the desktop onto this
monitor checkbox for the main display) as part of the same settings change. The reason for this is that many primary
graphics card drivers tend to make the laptop screen primary if it is enabled. The only workaround for this is to disable
the laptop screen to allow another screen to be primary. To do this:
1. Select the This is my main monitor checkbox (1 in Figure 1) of the DisplayLink display.
2. Select the primary display (Display 1).
3. Uncheck the Extend the desktop onto this monitor checkbox (1 in Figure 1).
4. Click Apply.
The DisplayLink USB Graphics device stays primary if the PC enters hibernate or suspend mode or is rebooted. If the
DisplayLink USB Graphics device is detached, the main display becomes primary again.
To make the DisplayLink USB Graphics the Primary Display using the DisplayLink menu
1. From the taskbar, click on the DisplayLink icon .
2. Select Set as Main Monitor.
