Hello All,

I recently purchased a s8+ tab and I'm loving it, I'm trying hard to disable mirroring when connected to an external monitor using USB docking station and an hdmi cable. When connected its mirroring my tab screen as expected however, while switching to dex mode, it's still in mirroring mode and it's very irritating to use it.

I tried to disable it and I see no option to disable it, Am I missing something here ?

1) No HDMI settings in connections.

2) No Dex related settings. 

any ideas or suggestions to resolve ?

I don't have a Tab S8 yet but my understanding is that the Tab S8 can only mirror its screen and not extend it, if that's what you're asking. And I'm guessing that to turn off a connected monitor you'll need to disconnect the hdmi cable or turn off the monitor.

With DeX, you can have the DeX screen on the monitor but the tablet or phone is limited to the Android display so it's not a true extended DeX display.

Thanks for the reply Bill, I figured out the option.

Unless we turn on "Auto start when connected to HDMI" its mirroring the whole display even if we enable Dex manually.
