Monitors and Screen Resolution
When you use the VMware Blast display protocol or the PCoIP display protocol, you can extend a remote
desktop to multiple monitors. If you have a Mac with Retina Display, you can see the remote desktop in full
resolution.
Using Multiple Monitors
With the VMware Blast display protocol or the PCoIP display protocol, a remote desktop screen resolution
of 4K (3840 x 2160) is supported. The number of 4K displays that are supported depends on the hardware
version of the desktop virtual machine and the Windows version.
Hardware Version Windows Version
Number of 4K Displays
Supported
10 (ESXi 5.5.x compatible) 7, 8, 8.x, 10 1
11 (ESXi 6.0 compatible) 7 (3D rendering feature disabled and Windows Aero
disabled)
3
11 7 (3D rendering feature enabled) 1
11 8, 8.x, 10 1
The remote desktop must have View Agent 6.2 or later, or Horizon Agent 7.0 or later, installed. For best
performance, the virtual machine should have at least 2 GB of RAM and 2 vCPUs. This feature might
require good network conditions, such as a bandwidth of 1000 Mbps with low network latency and a low
package loss rate.
Using Full-Screen Mode With Multiple Monitors
When a remote desktop window is open, you can use the Window > Enter Full Screen menu item or the
expander arrows in the upper-right corner of the desktop window to extend the remote desktop across
multiple monitors. You can select the Window > Use Single Display in Full Screen menu item to make the
remote desktop ll only one monitor. With this option, the monitors do not have to be in the same mode. For
example, if you are using a laptop connected to an external monitor, the external monitor can be in portrait
mode or landscape mode.
You can select a full-screen option from the Seings dialog box after you connect to a server and before you
open a remote desktop. Click the  buon (gear icon) in the upper right corner of the desktop and
application selection window, select the remote desktop, and select a full-screen option from the Full Screen
drop-down menu.
