Customizing Your Computer 67
Using External Display Devices
Using external display devices such as monitors, projectors, TVs, etc allows you to
view screen images alternatively or simultaneously on each device. Additionally, you
can extend the screen onto two display devices to use a larger workspace. Using
external display devices is especially useful when you are giving a presentation or
watching a movie through your TV.
