Extend or mirror your laptop screen to an i3CONNECT display

When your computer is connected wirelessly or cabled to an i3CONNECT display, it treats it as an external monitor. This means that you can choose to see a copy of your screen on the display (Duplicate / Mirror) or to use it as a second monitor (Extend).

Extend is often used when the computer needs to be able to see presenter notes during a presentation, and Duplicate is often used for simpler use.

Before we start

  • Make sure your Windows laptop is connected to the i3CONNECT display (via HDMI, USB-C, or wirelessly using AllSync).

  • If you’re using a desktop PC, connect an external keyboard for easier navigation.

  • This should cover all multi monitor situations. Each added monitor should just result in another screen needing to be tapped on.

Instructions

Windows

  1. Press the windows-brands-solid.png Windows key + P.

  2. Select “Duplicate” or "Extend” as you wish.

macOS

  1. Go to System Settings > Displays

  2. Press on the button detect displays

  3. Check “Mirror Displays".

Troubleshooting

  • If the i3CONNECT display isn’t showing up, check your cable or wireless connection.

  • Black bars around the image? This is due to aspect ratio differences—your content is still visible.

  • Still stuck? Try restarting your laptop and the display
