Screen Resolutions and Using External Displays
You can use Horizon Client with external displays and you can change screen resolutions.
When you connect a Chrome OS device to an external display or projector, you can display Horizon Client
in full-screen mode by pressing the full screen key on the device's keyboard.
Enlarging the Screen Resolution for a Remote Desktop
By default, the display resolution is set so that the entire Windows desktop ts inside the client device, and
the desktop icons and task bar icons are a certain size. If you change the default to a higher resolution, the
desktop still ts inside the client device, but the desktop and taskbar icons become smaller.
Changing the Display Resolution Setting

window, tap Display, and tap Resolution.
