Through PowerDesk you can optimize your new display landscape via the Mode Management tools and Desktop Divider feature. Mode Management lets you customize display settings such as resolution and refresh rates. The Desktop Divider allows you to choose between using the extra monitors as one big display for widescreen viewing (also handy for digital signage), or using them in a traditional setup as individual screens. If you opt to use each screen individually, the software configures the displays in a “4×2” manner, allowing for up to eight different applications across both monitors. PowerDesk also lets you move the Dock to one of the external displays.
