About the resolutions and refresh rates available to users 

 

 
The resolutions and refresh rates available to the user through Windows are a compromise of the support 
from the following elements:     

 

 

The USB display adapter

   

 

 

The primary monitor and the add-on monitor   

 

 

The primary video card on your computer and installed drivers   

 
Therefore, for example, if your monitor doesn’t support a resolution of 1600x1200, then 1600x1200 is not 
possible even if you are using a USB display adapter with 1600x1200 support. This ensures that the 
monitor cannot be put into an unsupported mode, which might damage it.   
 
If cloning the primary display, the video component will try to use the preferred monitor mode. In some 
cases, this may not be the most appropriate mode for the cloned desktop. It is recommended that the 
primary display resolution be changed to closer match the default resolution of the add-on monitor.
