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 USB Graphics Adapter 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 USB Graphics Adapter stays primary if the PC enters hibernate or suspend mode or is rebooted. If the USB Graphics
Adapter is detached, the main display becomes primary again.
To make the USB Graphics Adapter the Primary Display using the DisplayLink menu
1. From the taskbar, click on the DisplayLink icon
2. Select Set as Main Monitor.

Graphics Adapter screen and with external keyboard and mouse.
To set a laptop to do nothing
1. Select Start menu > Control Panel > Power Options.
2. Select Choose what closing the lid does.
3. From When I close the lid, select Do nothing from the On battery and Plugged in drop down list.
