Monitors and Display Resolution
The AppStream 2.0 client supports multiple monitors with the following display resolutions:
-
Multiple monitors (up to 2K resolution) — Up to 4 monitors with a maximum display resolution of 2560x1600 pixels per monitor
-
Multiple monitors (4K resolution) — Up to 2 monitors with a maximum display resolution of 4096x2160 pixels per monitor
If you prefer a fixed resolution, which does not change even when the client window is resized, choose Settings, Display, Display Resolution, and specify the desired resolution. To re-enable automatic resizing, choose Adapt automatically.
Using Multiple Monitors
When using multiple monitors, you can choose from the following options:
-
Extend full-screen across a single monitor
-
Extend full-screen across all monitors
-
Extend full-screen across selected monitors
Extending full-screen across a single monitor
You can extend full screen only on the current monitor if multiple monitors are connected to your local computer. To enable this feature, complete the following steps:
-
On the toolbar at the top of the window, choose the Full Screen (crossed arrows) icon.
-
From the drop-down menu, choose Full screen current monitor.
Extending full-screen across all monitors
You can extend the display for a session across all monitors at full screen resolution. The extended display matches your physical display layout and screen resolutions. For example, three monitors are connected to your local computer. The server extends the display for a session across all three monitors and matches the specific screen resolutions of your display.
To enable this feature, complete the following steps:
-
On the toolbar at the top of the window, choose the Full Screen (crossed arrows) icon.
-
From the drop-down menu, choose Full screen all monitors.
Extending full-screen across selected monitors
If there are three or more monitors connected, AppStream 2.0 can also extend full-screen across a selection of those available monitors. If your selected monitors cannot go full screen, an error message will appear and you will need to perform the procedure again. Selected monitors must be set adjacent, or sharing a side with each other, in your display setting.
The following are examples of adjacent monitor placement. If your monitors are not set adjacent in your display configuration, you must exit AppStream 2.0 and change your Display settings on your local machine.
Note
The blue boxes are AppStream 2.0-enabled monitors, and the gray boxes are other monitors.
To enable this feature, complete the following steps:
-
On the toolbar at the top of the window, choose the Full Screen (crossed arrows) icon.
-
From the drop-down menu, choose Full screen selected monitors.
-
The Full screen selected monitors window appears, displaying your current monitor layout. Select which monitors you want DCV to be displayed full screen, and choose Apply.
