device in the

connected to the docking station. The resolution, color depth, and refresh rate of the
primary display are replicated on the connected display.
Note:
When the connected monitor uses a different specification than the primary
display, the system’s primary graphics adapter scales all of the settings to a lower
specification to maintain a uniform aspect ratio.

docking station in relation to the system’s primary monitor.
Screen Resolution

Screen Rotation
Select this option to change the orientation in which the screen is viewed. The two
most common orientation types are portrait and landscape.
Set as Main Monitor
Select this option to specify the display that’s connected to the docking station as the
primary display. The primary display shows all of the system notifications, and takes
priority with applications.
Off
Select this option to disable the display that’s connected to the docking station.
