display mode

Visual output configuration

Display mode is a setting that controls how visual content appears on a screen.

In computing, it typically refers to resolution, color depth, or orientation options.

Software applications offer display modes for different viewing contexts—presentation mode for slideshows, dark mode for low-light environments, full-screen mode for immersive viewing.

Switch to display mode before connecting the projector.
