Adjusting video settings
For a basic overview of the video setting options, please see
the TOSHIBA Video Dock Utility" on page
information on adjusting the video settings for a monitor connected
to the dynadock™, read this section.
Selecting Extended mode or Mirror mode
You can choose to set the dynadock's video output signal to
Extended mode or Mirror mode.
Extended mode extends your desktop space across multiple
monitors, so that you can display different information on each
monitor connected to your computer. This provides a number of
advantages to increase productivity, including the ability to:
❖
View large spreadsheets across two screens
❖
Multi-task more effectively without overlapping windows
❖
Compare two documents simultaneously across two screens
❖
View videos/TV on one screen and reviews on the other
Mirror mode duplicates the image on your computer screen on the
external monitor(s) connected to the dynadock™. This mode is
useful if, for example, you want to view information on a larger,
external desktop monitor instead of a smaller, built-in computer
screen. In Mirror mode, the dynadock™ automatically adjusts the
external monitor's resolution, color quality, and refresh rate settings
to provide the best overall image quality based on your computer's
settings.
To configure the dynadock's video output signal to Mirror mode or
Extended mode, connect an external monitor to the dynadock™ as
described in the section

1
