Hi Corey, and welcome to TSF!

Are you trying to clone your display, or have multiple monitors with different images on them? You can do both. Right now, you have the second option enabled. If you drag the window of a program to the right of the primary monitor, it will move into the second monitor.

Go to this settings window:

Start > (Settings) > Control Panel > Display > Settings tab > Advanced... > Displays

Here you can configure various display settings including TV-out and cloned monitors.
