A Horizon administrator can disable the DPI Synchronization feature on a remote desktop by disabling
the Horizon Agent DPI Synchronization group policy setting. You must log out and log in to the remote
desktop again to make the configuration change take effect. For more information, see the Configuring
Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
For virtual desktops, the DPI Synchronization feature is supported on the following guest operating
systems:
n
32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7
n
32-bit or 64-bit Windows 8.x
n
32-bit or 64-bit Windows 10
n
Windows Server 2008 R2 configured as a desktop
n

n
Windows Server 2016 configured as a desktop
For published desktops, the DPI Synchronization feature is supported on the following RDS hosts:
n
Windows Server 2012 R2
n

The DPI synchronization feature does not work with published applications.
The DPI Synchronization feature requires Horizon Agent 7.0.2 or later and Horizon Client 4.7 or later. The
DPI Synchronization feature is not available if you use Horizon Client 4.7 with Horizon Agent 7.0 or 7.0.1,
or an earlier (pre-4.7) version of Horizon Client with Horizon Agent 7.0.2 or later.
Select Speciļ¬c Monitors in a Multiple-Monitor Setup
You can use the selective multiple-monitor feature to select the monitors on which to display a remote
desktop window. For example, if you have three monitors, you can specify that the remote desktop
window appears on only two of those monitors. By default, a remote desktop window appears on all
monitors in a multiple-monitor setup.
You can select up to four adjacent monitors.
This feature is not supported for published applications.
Procedure
1 Start Horizon Client and log in to a server.
2 In the desktop and application selection window, right-click the remote desktop and select Settings.
3 Select PCoIP or VMware Blast from the Connect Via drop-down menu.
4 Select Use Selective Displays from the Full Screen drop-down menu.
Thumbnails of the monitors that are currently connected to the client system appear under Display
Arrangement. The display topology matches the display settings on the client system.
