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.
