The Standby / Hibernate mode and the Video port
after the activation of the lap-top / tablet from the Standby / Hibernate mode the primary (original) monitor is displayed, for this reason we recommend using the monitor that is integrated with the laptop / tablet as the primary monitor, so that you can log on to the system again.

The Mirror mode
the additional monitor takes on the parameters of the orig-inal monitor in the system, i.e., if you select the Mirror mode and the original monitor resolution is e.g. 1280×1024 then the screen will be displayed on the additional monitor with a resolution of max. 1280×1024 (even if you set a higher resolution).
Pressing the keys „Windows“ + P you can also easily control the monitors – for using a monitor in Win 10 you can select: Computer screen only, Mirror, Extend, Second screen only.

USING IN MACOS X
After connecting the monitor, the screen on your Mac will glimmer, which is a standard condition, after stabilization it is possible to perform standard setting of the monitor here: System Preferences-Displays: Click on Arrangement and in the default mode (Extended desktop) click on the new monitor and drag it as necessary vis-à-vis the Mac monitor. If you select Mirror displays the mode will change to Mirror (the resolution of the monitors will be automatically adjusted according to their parameters and the highest possible resolution will be set on both monitors). By cancelling the Mirror displays option you will return to the Extended desktop mode. Extended mode: The arrow indicates the possible position of the connected monitor vis-à-vis the Mac monitor.

When the power supply is ensured from the battery, the use of a HDMI monitor is limited by the Mac. In some situations in case of problems with displaying it is possible to solve it by disconnecting the USB-C cable of the docking station from the USB-C port on the Mac and reconnecting it after approximately 10 s. Please wait for completion of connection of all peripherals. Most problems with renewing the screen on the connected monitor after hibernation of the Mac, af-ter using screensaver, after restarting the Mac, after turning the Mac OFF / ON can be solved by the same way.
