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.

: 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. 

Configuring Display settings

The Windows display settings can be configured under Windows Control 
Panel -> Screen Resolution. The easiest way to open the screen resolution 
settings is to right click anywhere on the Windows desktop, then choose 
"Screen Resolution" from the menu.
