Depending on the setting under Setup > Accessories > Display Switch > Options > Dialog Type selection, the basic or the advanced dialog will be shown.

Identify Displays

To start screen detection, click on Identify Displays
The names and properties of the screens will be detected. The connection, the assigned number (1 = main screen) and the name will be shown on each screen. Example: 1: DVI-D(II): Samsung 24"

Specify Main Screen

  1. If necessary, switch to the advanced dialog with Advanced.
  2. Select the screen that you wish to specify as the main screen.
  3. Enable Main screen.

Split Display over Several Screens

You have various options for using several screens. In the dialog, the connection, the assigned number (1 = main screen) and the name is shown for each screen. Example: 1: DVI-D(II): Samsung 24"

The procedure with the minimal dialog is described below. To switch from the advanced to the minimal dialog, click on Simple.

Change Mouse Settings

The procedure with the minimal dialog is described below; Setup > Accessories > Display Switch > Options > Mouse Options must be enabled. To switch from the advanced to the minimal dialog, click on Simple.

To adjust the mouse for left-handed users, enable the Lefthanded Mode.

To adjust the speed of the mouse pointer, change the value under Pointer speed. The higher the value, the further the mouse pointer will travel when the mouse is moved.

To change the time interval within which two consecutive mouse clicks are recognized as a double-click, change the number of milliseconds under Double click interval.

Zoom Display (Screen Magnifying Glass)

You can magnify the screen content. The effect is the same as with the screen magnifying glass in Microsoft Windows: All text and graphics are magnified by the same factor; this results in a virtual display area which is bigger than the monitor’s available display area. The user therefore sees a magnified section of the entire screen content; the section can be moved by moving the mouse to the edge of the screen.

  1. If necessary, switch to the advanced dialog with Advanced.
  2. Enable Zoom.
  3. Under Virtual resolution, set the highest possible value. Example: 1920x1200
  4. Under Resolution, set a low value. This value simulates the actual resolution of the screen. Example: 1280x800
  5. Click on Apply.
    The screen content will be magnified. The magnification factor results from the ratio of the virtual resolution and the simulated actual resolution.

    If the same content is displayed on a number of screens (Shadow screens), all screens will show the same section. However, you can set a different magnification level for each of the screens.

Change Refresh Rate

A refresh rate of 60 Hz is usually suitable for standard screens.
  1. If necessary, switch to the advanced dialog with Advanced.
  2. Under Refresh rate, set the desired value.

Restore Default Settings

Click on Reset to restore the default settings.

Auto Switch Monitor Configuration for Laptops

This display switch can use multiple different profiles, automatically chosen at runtime depending on the currently connected monitors. A profile is created when the current monitor layout/resolution is configured via the Display Switch utility. The profile will be associated with the currently connected displays automatically (manufacturer, model and used connector are used for allocation) and, if applicable, the state of the laptop lid.

The setup will be restored by plugging or unplugging known displays, which means that the system will automatically switch to the already configured profile.

For the display switch functionality, the following parameters should be enabled:

  1. In the Setup, go to Accessories > Display Switch > Options.
  2. Enable Preserve settings over reboot and Smart display configuration. (Default: disabled)

You can find a workflow example under Auto Switch Monitor Configuration for Notebooks.
