Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.6 Administrator’s Guide

Using multi-monitors in PCoIP session

This section is applicable to Wyse 5070 thin client. ThinOS supports multiple-monitor display to run virtual machines on each monitor.

User scenario:
  1. Connect multiple monitors to the ThinOS device.
  2. In the Display Setup dialog box, disable Mirror Mode, and configure the display layout.
  3. Launch a full screen PCoIP session.
  • Display numbers—A virtual machine needs sufficient video memory to support three or four monitors. The default video memory on VMware vSphere supports only two monitors.
    • Supports one session up to four monitors in span mode with resolution up to 2560 x 1600.
    • Supports one session up to two monitors in span mode with resolution up to 3840 x 2160.

    The maximum number of monitors that can be stacked vertically is two. If you use more than two monitors, the monitors must be in the same mode and have the same screen resolution. For instance, if you use three monitors, all three monitors must be either in portrait mode or landscape mode, and must use the same screen resolution.

  • Display layout—The display layout of the monitors must be aligned up and down, or left and right. Improper alignment results in unusual display.
  • 3D rendering—You can configure 3D graphics rendering for connected desktops. To use the 3D rendering feature, use up to two monitors with resolution up to 1920 x 1200.
