External Monitor with a System Display Three years ago, when we upgraded our UI library to a major new version, we lost support for using an additional system display as an external monitor.

It is incompa…

Hardware Video Decoding! "What took so long?" you might ask. A good way to manage it across all operating systems and GPU vendor APIs. We have a FAQ topic about this.
