Configure the display settings

About this task

This section provides information about how to configure the display settings for the connected displays.
NOTE:On Wyse 5470 Thin Client, the built-in display stays on by default.

By default, the device uses the span mode if a new display is connected. When you change the display settings for the current display setup, the settings are preserved. If you connect the same display again, the device sets the monitor layout (including the disable monitor setting) according to the saved layout.

Steps

  1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Display.
    The Display Setup dialog box is displayed.
  2. In the Display Setup dialog box, configure any of following options:
    Figure 1. Display

    • Select the Mirror check box to enable all connected displays to use the same display settings configured on the primary display.

      If you clear the Mirror check box, the Span mode is enabled.

      Blocks that are displayed on the screen represent the number of displays connected to the thin client. Each block represents a single display screen.

      Every display contains a unique display order number and display configuration. You can move the blocks horizontally or vertically and construct the multidisplay layout in mixed directions. To construct a new display layout, move the blocks to your preferred position, and click Apply. A new display layout is created. However, when the block is moved to an incorrect position, the system sets the block to its default position.

      NOTE:The Wyse 5070 Extended thin client supports up to six monitors. The Wyse 5470 Thin Client supports up to three simultaneous displays.
    • Select the Make this my main display check box to set the display as primary display or the main screen. After you set the display as the main screen, the display block is highlighted in yellow, and the Make this my main display option is disabled for that display block. The Make this my main display option is now available for other display blocks.
      NOTE:The Make this my main display option is effective only in Span Mode and always disabled in Mirror Mode.
    • Select the Disable current monitor check box if you want to disable a display.

      If you want to enable the disabled display, from the Monitor drop-down list, select the disabled monitor, and clear the Disable current monitor check box. Click the Test button and then click OK.

    • From the Orientation drop-down list, select an option to rotate the display screen in different directions.
    • From the Resolution drop-down list, select a supported display resolution.
      NOTE:The default screen resolution on the Wyse 5470 Thin Client is 1366 x 768 or 1920 x 1080 depending on the configuration. The default screen resolution on the Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin Client is 1920 x 1080.
      • In Mirror Mode, the resolution list is derived from the intersection of resolutions in all connected displays.
      • In Span Mode, select a display block and change its resolution.
    • From the Monitor drop-down list, select your preferred display.
  3. Click Test.
    The new display settings are applied, and you can preview the modified display.
  4. Click OK to confirm the new settings.
    Use the Identify option to know the display order number of the connected displays.
