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.
The DPI Synchronization feature is enabled by default. You can disable the DPI Synchronization feature
and manually adjust the resolution. For information, see Adjusting the Screen Resolution for Remote
Desktops and Applications.
A Horizon administrator can disable the DPI Synchronization feature by disabling the Horizon Agent DPI
Synchronization group policy setting. You must log out and log in again to make the configuration
change take effect. For more information, see the Configuring Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7
document.

To change the screen resolution after you log in to a remote desktop or application, tap the Option button
