A new feature in Windows 7 allows you to quickly and easily change presentation display modes on your laptop without going into the Mobility Center. All you have do is press the Windows logo key + P and you'll be presented with a dialog that allows you to choose one of four modes:
- Display using the built-in screen only.
- Display a duplicate image on the built-in screen and external monitor or projector.
- Extend the desktop across both the built-in and external display.
- Display only on the external screen.
