Dual Monitors Set Up Macbook Pro 2019

Click the ? at the lower-right of the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference.


"To set up a combination of displays showing mirrored and extended desktop images, set up the three displays as an extended desktop, then if desired you can Option-drag a display icon onto another display icon to mirror the two displays."




command-F2 will toggle the setting of [√] Mirror displays
