two

mode
settings.
nView
horizontal
and
vertical
Span
modes
treat
multiple
displays
as
a
single
large
desktop.
In
this
mode,
the
desktop
area
is
spread
across
both
displays,
however
the
operating
system
treats
both
displays
as
one
large
display.
For
this
reason,
the
refresh
rate,
color
depth,
and
resolution
on
both
displays
will
be
identical,
and
cannot
be
changed
independently.
The
desktop
may
be
“stretched”
horizontally
or
“stacked”
vertically,
depending
on
your
needs,
as
explained
in
.
•
nView
Horizontal
Span
mode
allows
you
to
extend
the
Windows
desktop
across
two
displays
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
displays
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
Span
modes
supports
the
“video
mirror”
feature,
where
you
may
want
to
dedicate
an
application
to
one
of
the
two
displays
or
run
the
application
across
both
displays.
Examples
include
entertainment
applications,
digital
video
editing,
and
DVD
playback.
