    Hi,
    I have 2 screens connected.
    My app detects 2 monitiors in extended mode of display.
    int screenrecount = QApplication::screens().size();
    qDebug() << "screens().size()" << screenrecount;
    ---> output = screens().size() = 2

    But when I set mirror mode through display settings, I get count as screens().size() = 1

    Why is it so that in extended mode it shows 2 screens and in mirror mode it is showing only 1 screen?

      Doesn't mirror mode mean that exactly the same is shown on both displays? So, from system/application point of view there is no difference between one display and two in mirror mode.

        Thank you for the reply.
        I want to disable the second monitor which is the mirror mode. Is it not possible?
        I can disable the second monitor in extended mode.

          Hi,

          What do you mean by "disable the second monitor in extend mode" ?
