Monitors and Display Resolution - Amazon WorkSpaces Applications

Monitors and Display Resolution

WorkSpaces Applications supports the use of multiple monitors during streaming sessions, including monitors that have different resolutions. To help ensure an optimal streaming experience, we recommend that you set the display scale for your monitors to 100 percent if you use multiple monitors.

You can use dual monitors for application streaming sessions that are started on the following web browsers:

  • Google Chrome

  • Mozilla Firefox

  • Safari

  • Microsoft Edge

For browser-based streaming sessions on dual monitors, a maximum display resolution of 4K (4096x2160) is supported per monitor.

Important

Higher resolution monitors require significantly more compute capacity and encoding resources to stream content effectively, with actual performance depending on your display configuration (resolution and number of monitors) and the compute instance being used. If you experience suboptimal performance on 4K monitors, we recommend reducing your display resolution to improve responsiveness.

Ultrawide monitors with resolutions exceeding 4096 pixels in either dimension (e.g., 5120x2160) will display black bars on the sides, as the maximum supported resolution is limited to 4096 pixels per dimension.
