Using the Dual Display Function
The dual display function allows you to distribute portions of your desktop across
separate displays. For example, if you have an external monitor attached to the
monitor connector, your LCD display and the monitor can function as a single
desktop. You can move the cursor off one display and onto the other. This allows you
to drag objects, such as an open application window or a toolbar, from one display to
the other. This configuration of a single desktop distributed across separate displays
is referred to as a virtual desktop.
