5. Operating Modes
The KEFEYA screen extender supports four primary display modes to suit various needs:
- Extend Mode: Extends your desktop across multiple screens, allowing you to have different applications open on each display. This is ideal for multitasking and increasing productivity.
- Mirror Mode: Duplicates your primary laptop screen onto the extender, showing the same content on both displays. Useful for presentations or sharing content with others.
- Presentation Mode: Similar to Mirror Mode, specifically optimized for presenting content to an audience.
- Portrait Mode: Rotates the display to a vertical orientation, which is beneficial for viewing long documents, code, or web pages.
You can switch between these modes through your operating system's display settings (e.g., Display Settings on Windows, System Preferences > Displays on macOS).
