Chapter 3. Using the USB-to-DVI adapter
This chapter provides information about configuring your monitor using the USB-to-DVI adapter.
Using the two modes
The USB-to-DVI adapter works in two modes:
v Extend mode
v Mirror mode
Extend mode
The Extend mode enables you to split your screen across multiple monitors. You can drag and drop any
window from one screen to another. In this mode, you can improve your work efficiency by doing the
following:
v Read e-mails on one monitor and open attachments on another
v Expand a spreadsheet across multiple monitors
v Put different contents on different monitors

2. Select Extend to.
3. Select a desired direction: left, right, up, or down.
To exit the Extend mode, do the following:
1. Click the Lenovo USB-DVI Adapter icon
2. Select Off.
Mirror mode
The Mirror mode clones your notebook computer screen to the external monitors. The USB-to-DVI
adapter automatically selects the settings (screen resolution, color quality, and refresh rate) for the
external monitors.
Note: The USB-to-DVI adapter will automatically select the lowest screen resolution from all the
monitors, and the selected screen resolution will be applied to the other monitors.
