The resolution, colour depth and refresh rate of the primary display are replicated on the display connected to

If the display connected to the adapter supports a lower resolution than the primary display, then the primary
display will have its resolution changed automatically to ensure the whole picture fits on the external display. If
the display connected to the adapter is larger than the primary display, the image will be letterboxed to keep
the aspect ratio correct.
