If you have an external monitor with a Dell D430 you can use it as an Extended Desktop. If you want

to connect the computer to an LCD projector you must set up the projector to clone the display on your

laptop. You can use the procedures below to modify display properties.

To Use Your Monitor as an Extended Desktop

Right-click the desktop and follow the menu path shown below to select the preferred primary and

secondary display.

• Notebook + Monitor means that the notebook is the primary display and the monitor is the

extension.

• Monitor + Notebook means that the monitor is the primary display and the notebook is the

extension.

Note: To clone displays use the menu path Graphics Options Æ Output To Æ Intel(R) Dual

Display Clone Æ Notebook + Monitor (or Monitor + Notebook).

You can fine tune the external display using the Graphics Properties dialog box.

1. Right-click the desktop and select Graphics Properties from the pop-up menu.

2. On the Display Devices tab:

• Use the Primary Device and Secondary Device drop-down lists to change primacy

order of the displays.

• Use the numbered icons to rearrange the Primary and Secondary devices to duplicate

the physical arrangement of the devices so the cursor movement direction feels logical.
