MacBook Air Tips and Tricks
Question: Can I freeze the screen on an Interactive Flat panel so I can have one page displayed on the Flat Panel and another on my laptop?
Yes! All you need to do is change your display setting. Usually the display setting is set to 'mirror' which means both your laptop and the flat panel will display the same screen. If you uncheck the mirror box - it will be like you have 2 different screens - right next to each other - meaning you can have 2 different things going on. Just remember you need to move your mouse to the screen you want to work with. You can just 'drag' a window from your laptop to the big screen. Give it a try!
From the Apple Menu (top left) -> System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement -> Uncheck 'Mirror Displays'.
