Monitors and Screen Resolution
With Horizon View Client 2.0 and later, if you use 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
If you use the PCoIP display protocol when accessing a remote desktop, you can use up to two monitors,
with a resolution of up to 2560x1600 per display. If you are using two monitors, the monitors can be side by
side or vertically stacked.
When the 3D rendering feature is enabled, the maximum resolution is 1920x1200. Examples of 3D
applications include Windows Aero themes, Microsoft Office 2010, and Google Earth.
To extend a remote desktop to multiple monitors you can use the Window > Full Screen menu item or the
expander arrows in the upper-right corner of the Horizon View Client window.
If you have a Mac with OS X Mavericks (10.9), open System Preferences, click Mission Control, and deselect
Displays have separate Spaces to use full screen with more than one monitor. You must log out to make
your changes take effect.
Displaying a Remote Desktop on a High-Resolution Mac with Retina Display
If you use the PCoIP display protocol, Horizon View Client also supports very high resolutions for those
client systems with Retina Display. After you log in to a remote desktop, you can choose the Desktop >
Resolution > Full Resolution menu item. This menu item appears only if the client system supports Retina
Display.
