You can use multiple monitors and all types of keyboards with a remote session. Certain settings ensure the best possible user experience. What to read next Supported Multiple Monitor ConfigurationsHorizon Client supports the following multiple monitor configurations. Select Specific Monitors to Display a Remote DesktopIf you have two or more monitors, you can select the monitors on which to display a remote desktop window. For example, if you have two monitors, you can specify that the remote desktop window appears on only one of those monitors. Select Specific Monitors to Display Published ApplicationsIf you have two or more monitors, you can select the monitors on which to display published application windows. For example, if you have two monitors, you can specify that published application windows appear on only one of those monitors. Display a Remote Desktop on a Single Monitor in a Multiple-Monitor SetupIf you have two or more monitors, but you want a remote desktop window to appear on only one monitor, you can configure the remote desktop window to open on a single monitor. Customize the Display Resolution and Display Scaling for a Remote DesktopYou can use Horizon Client to customize the display resolution and display scaling for a remote desktop. The display resolution determines the clarity of the text and images. At higher resolutions, such as 1600 x 1200 pixels, items appear sharper. Display scaling, which is represented as a percentage, increases or decreases the size of text, icons, and navigation elements. Use Display ScalingUsers that have poor eyesight or high-resolution screens, such as 4K monitors, generally have scaling enabled by setting the DPI (Dots Per Inch) on the client system to greater than 100 percent. The DPI setting controls the size of the text, apps and icons. A lower DPI setting makes them appear smaller and a higher setting makes them appear bigger. With the Display Scaling feature, remote desktops and published applications support the client system's scaling setting and appear normal-sized rather than very small. Using DPI SynchronizationThe DPI Synchronization feature ensures that the DPI setting in a remote desktop or published application matches the client system's DPI setting. Change the Display Mode for a Remote DesktopYou can change the display mode, such as from Fullscreen - All Monitors mode to Fullscreen - Single Monitor mode, before or after you connect to a remote desktop. This feature is not supported for published applications. Keyboard Shortcuts for Input FocusYou can use the Hotkey combination to grab input focus and Hotkey combination to release input focus group policy settings to configure keyboard shortcuts for input focus. When the Minimize the fullscreen virtual desktop after release input focus check box is enabled, you can use the configured hot keys to minimize the Horizon Client for Windows. Keyboard Input Source Language SynchronizationWhen you connect to a remote desktop, the keyboard input source language on the client system is synchronized in the remote desktop. Configure Lock Key SynchronizationYou can configure Horizon Client to synchronize the toggle states of the Num Lock, Scroll Lock, and Caps Lock keys from the client system to a remote desktop by enabling a setting in Horizon Client. This setting is disabled by default. Parent topic: Using External Devices
