Note:
This chapter discusses the features accessible from the nView Display
Mode panel. For details on using Dualview (nView Display Mode tab is
disabled) vs. Span/Clone modes (nView Display mode tab is enabled) see
the chapter on
“Using nView Multi-Display Modes: Dualview vs. Span/
nView Display Mode Panel Options
The
monitor images
display a graphical representation of your nView display
configuration.
• Click a monitor image to select it as the current display.
• When you right click the monitor image, a pop-up menu appears from which
you can make adjustments to the associated display devices and access the
Color Correction tab.
nView Standard (Dualview) Mode
can be a single-display mode or a dual-
display mode if your secondary monitor is “attached” or “enabled” on the
Settings panel.
nView Standard mode disables the nView Span or Clone modes and features
that depend on these modes.
However, you can access specific features that are not multi-display, such as
those described in
“Additional Features and Enhancements” on page 107
nView Horizontal Span Mode
allows you to extend the Windows desktop
across two display devices horizontally. In this mode the two displays combine
to form a wide, spanned display surface, which is useful when viewing items
that are wider then a single display.
nView Vertical Span Mode
allows you to extend the Windows desktop across
two display devices vertically. In this mode the two displays combine to form a
tall, spanned display surface, which is useful when viewing items that are taller
then a single display.
nView Clone Mode
outputs an exact copy of the primary display on the
secondary device.
Display:
Displays all current nView displays. If more than one device is
connected and you have switched to a mode other than Standard, you can select
which display is the current display by clicking the “down arrow” to display the
drop-down menu.
