128 Part II: Intermediate
If Windows Vista detects the TV or projector as a new display and opens
the New Display Detected dialog box to let you configure the new display,
choose the appropriate option button, each of which is described next, and
then click the Apply button:
Duplicate My Desktop On All Displays (Mirrored) Select this option
button if you want to display the same picture on your PC??™s screen and
on the TV or projector. This setting is useful when you??™re setting up the
TV or projector, but usually either the PC??™s screen or the external image
will be at an unsuitable resolution for long-term viewing.
Show Different Parts Of My Desktop On Each Display (Extended) Select
this option button if you want to make the external image an extension
of your desktop. You can then drag a window from the PC??™s screen
to the external image.
Show My Desktop On The External Display Only Select this option
button if you want to shut off your PC??™s screen and see only the external
image.
On a laptop PC, you may need to press a function key combination (for example, FN-F7) to send the
video output to the external graphics port. Consult your laptop??™s documentation or look for a key
bearing a graphic of multiple monitors (usually in the color used for the lettering on the FN key).
