Multiple Monitors - Amazon AppStream 2.0

Multiple Monitors

AppStream 2.0 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 users who have monitors with different resolutions set the display scale for their monitors to 100 percent.

Note

For AppStream 2.0 streaming sessions that use native application mode, monitors with up to 2K resolution are supported. If higher-resolution monitors are used for streaming sessions, the AppStream 2.0 client falls back to classic mode. In this scenario, the AppStream 2.0 classic mode streaming view occupies 2K of the screen, and the remaining portion of the screen is black.

Multiple Monitors (up to 2K Resolution)

The following AppStream 2.0 instance types support up to 4 monitors and a maximum display resolution of 2560x1600 pixels per monitor: General Purpose, Memory Optimized, Compute Optimized, Graphics G4dn, Graphics G5, Graphics Design, and Graphics Pro.

Multiple Monitors (up to 4K Resolution)

The following AppStream 2.0 instance types support up to 2 monitors with a maximum display resolution of 4096x2160 pixels per monitor: Graphics G4dn, Graphics G5, Graphics Design, and Graphics Pro.

Note

Non-graphics instance types (General Purpose, Memory Optimized, and Compute Optimized) support a maximum display resolution of 2560x1600 pixels per monitor.
