About the resolutions and refresh rates available to users The resolutions and refresh rates available to the user through Windows are a compromise of the support from the following elements: ■ The USB display adapter ■ The primary monitor and the add-on monitor ■ The primary video card on your computer and installed drivers Therefore, for example, if your monitor doesn't support a resolution of 1600x1200, then 1600x1200 is not possible even if you are using a USB display adapter with 1600x1200 support. This ensures that the monitor cannot be put into an unsupported mode, which might damage it. If cloning the primary display, the video component will try to use the preferred monitor mode. In some cases, this may not be the most appropriate mode for the cloned desktop. It is recommended that the primary display resolution be changed to closer match the default resolution of the add-on monitor. 12

About the resolutions and refresh rates available to users
The resolutions and refresh rates available to the user through Windows are a compromise of the support
from the following elements:
The USB display adapter
The primary monitor and the add-on monitor
The primary video card on your computer and installed drivers
Therefore, for example, if your monitor doesn’t support a resolution of 1600x1200, then 1600x1200 is not
possible even if you are using a USB display adapter with 1600x1200 support. This ensures that the
monitor cannot be put into an unsupported mode, which might damage it.
If cloning the primary display, the video component will try to use the preferred monitor mode. In some
cases, this may not be the most appropriate mode for the cloned desktop. It is recommended that the
primary display resolution be changed to closer match the default resolution of the add-on monitor.
