Using The Dual Display Function - Sony Vaio PCG-C1VE Software Manual

Customizing Your Notebook Computer

Using the Dual Display Function

Certain software may not be
compatible with Dual Display
settings.


Make sure that your computer
does not enter System Suspend
mode or System Hibernation
mode while you are using Dual
Display mode, otherwise your
computer may not return to
Normal mode.


If you set different colours on
each display, do not divide one
single window on two displays,
otherwise your software may
not work properly. With
software using Motion Eye such
as Smart Capture, the picture
may not be displayed properly.
Set fewer colours or a lower
resolution for each display.
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 monitor attached to the
monitor connector, your LCD display and the monitor can function as a single desktop.
You can move the cursor off 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.
