Table 12‑4. Desktop Pool Setting Descriptions (Continued)
Setting Options
Max resolution of
any one monitor
If you select PCoIP or VMware Blast as the display protocol, you should specify the Maximum
resolution of any one monitor.
The Maximum resolution of any one monitor is set to 1920 x 1200 pixels by default, but you can
configure this value.
When the 3D Renderer setting is not selected, the Max resolution of any one monitor setting
affects the amount of VRAM that is assigned to machines in the pool. When you increase the
resolution, more memory is consumed on the associated ESXi hosts.
When the 3D Renderer setting is not selected, up to three monitors are supported at 3840 x 2160
resolution on a Windows 7 guest operating system with Aero disabled. For other operating
systems, or for Windows 7 with Aero enabled, one monitor is supported at 3840 x 2160 resolution.
When the 3D Renderer setting is selected, one monitor is supported at 3840 x 2160 resolution.
Multiple monitors are best supported at a lower resolution. Select fewer monitors if you select a
higher resolution.
NOTE You must power off and on existing virtual machines for this setting to take effect.
Restarting a virtual machine does not cause the setting to take effect.
Not available to instant-clone desktop pools. In Horizon 7.0, the maximum resolution of any
monitor is 2560 x 1600.
HTML Access Select Enabled to allow users to connect to remote desktops from within their Web browsers.
When a user logs in through the VMware Horizon Web portal page or the
VMware Identity Manager app and selects a remote desktop, the HTML Access agent enables the
user to connect to the desktop over HTTPS. The desktop is displayed in the user's browser. Other
display protocols, such as PCoIP or RDP, are not used. Horizon Client software does not have to
be installed on the client devices.
To use HTML Access, you must install HTML Access in your View deployment. For more
information, see Using HTML Access, available from
https://www.vmware.com/support/viewclients/doc/viewclients_pubs.html.
To use HTML Access with VMware Identity Manager, you must pair Connection Server with a
SAML Authentication server, as described in the View Administration document.
VMware Identity Manager must be installed and configured for use with Connection Server.
Adobe Flash quality Determines the quality of Adobe Flash content that is displayed on Web pages.

system defaults to Low.
n
Medium. This setting results in moderate bandwidth savings.
n

For more information, see “Adobe Flash Quality and Throttling,” on page 139.
Adobe Flash
throttling
Determines the frame rate of Adobe Flash movies. If you enable this setting, you can reduce or
increase the number of frames displayed per second by selecting an aggressiveness level.
n
Disabled. No throttling is performed. The timer interval is not modified.
n
Conservative. Timer interval is 100 milliseconds. This setting results in the lowest number of
dropped frames.
n
Moderate. Timer interval is 500 milliseconds.
n
Aggressive. Timer interval is 2500 milliseconds. This setting results in the highest number of
dropped frames.
