Dual Independent Display Mode
You can attach an external monitor or projector to your computer and use it
as an extension of your display (known as "dual independent display" or
"extended desktop" mode).
This mode allows you to use both screens independently and drag objects
from one screen to the other, effectively doubling the amount of viewable
work space.
