The following figures show examples of a computer's Window display properties and a corresponding screen profile that replicates the display properties.

In this example, the Windows display properties of the three screens attached to a workstation are:
|
Screen 1 |
3840 by 2160 resolution, Landscape orientation |
|
Screen 2 |
1080 by 1920 resolution, Portrait orientation |
|
Screen 3 |
1920 by 1080 resolution, Landscape orientation, Primary screen |
Typically, there are three major tasks to configure a screen profile:
-
Add the screens
-
Position the screens
-
Configure the properties of the screens
The following steps demonstrate these general tasks by building an example screen profile that replicates a computer's Windows display properties shown above.
-
Open a screen profile that you created, which shows the default Primary screen.
-
Rename the Primary screen to Screen1
-
Add a screen, which appears to the right of the Primary screen and is named Screen2.
Screen2 has same properties as Screen1 except its name and it does not contain a task bar. Also, Screen2 is the selected screen.
-
Add another screen, which appears to the right of Screen2 and is named Screen3.

-
Set Screen3 as the primary screen in the screen profile.
-
Drag Screen2 to the left of Screen1.
The three screens of the profile have been created and are in the approximate configuration that matches the Windows display properties.
-
Set the properties of Screen1 to match Screen1 of the computer's Window display properties.


If necessary, drag Screen2 and Screen3 to align both screens to the bottom of Screen1.
-
Set the properties of Screen2 to match the properties of screen 2 of the Windows display properties.


Your screen profile should match the Windows display properties.
