# Display toggle

## Overview

Display toggle is a way to dynamically switch which display your tablet's pen maps to.

For example, if you have two monitors A and B:

* You could map the tablet's active area to cover both displays simultaneously,
* Or you could map the tablet's active area to cover one display

When mapping to one display, there is a challenge. You lose access to the other display with the pen.

This is where display toggle comes in.

You can configure a pen button or tablet button to switch between the two displays.

## My recommendation

For pen tablets, I always suggest mapping to a single monitor and enabling display toggle if you need to use both monitors.

## Multiple monitors

As always, I recommend turning on Force Proportions. This ensures that you are not drawing distorted strokes when switching between displays. More here: [Matching aspect ratios with Force Proportions](/drawtab/guides/customizing/force-proportions.md)
