# CloneScreen on PresenterPCs

Presentation PCs have a habit of displaying the primary screen on the wrong device. Furthermore, the workspace is extended by default instead of mirrored.

These issues can be resolved using the 'misc_clonescreen' variable.  
If the login screen appears on the wrong device, this can be corrected using the `dual_screen` variable.  
Furthermore, the display devices are mirrored by default instead of extended.

If the cabling does not properly support large screen resolutions, the desired resolution and refresh rate can be set.
