Screen Resolution
If the View Administrator congures a remote desktop with the correct amount of video RAM, the Web
client can resize a remote desktop to match the size of the browser window. The default conguration is
36MB of video RAM, which is comfortably more than minimum requirement of 16MB if you are not using
3D applications.
If you use a browser or Chrome device that has a high pixel density resolution, such as a Macbook with
Retina Display or a Google Chromebook Pixel, you can set the remote desktop or application to use that
resolution. Turn on the High Resolution Mode option in the Seings window, which is available from the
sidebar. (This option appears in the Seings window only if you are using a high-resolution display.)
To use the 3D rendering feature, you must allocate sucient VRAM for each remote desktop.
n
The software-accelerated graphics feature, available with vSphere 5.0 or later, allows you to use 3D
applications such as Windows Aero themes or Google Earth. This features requires 64MB to 128MB of
VRAM.
