Displays and scaling

Set resolution, display size and the position of your monitors.

Set up a display

1. Open the settings with the gear icon and choose Displays.
2. Select the display you want.
3. Adjust resolution, refresh rate, scaling or rotation.
4. Confirm the changes with Apply.

When text and buttons are too small

Higher scaling makes everything larger. A high screen resolution on its own does not mean everything is easy to read. Set the right resolution first and then adjust the scaling.

Several displays

Arrange the monitors the way they stand on your desk. The primary monitor decides where the interface and the first workspace appear. The Align Cursor function helps you line them up so the mouse moves smoothly between screens.

Different resolutions, 125 percent scaling and portrait orientation were checked in the test VM. That does not replace tests with your graphics card or with plugging real monitors in and out.
