Setting up multi-monitor support for Remote Desktop on your QuantVPS enhances your trading sessions by providing a more expansive and organized workspace. Follow these steps to configure your setup:
1. Launch the Remote Desktop Application:
For Windows Users:
• Open the Remote Desktop Connection application.
• If you need assistance, refer to our guide: Connecting to your VPS or Server via Windows.
For macOS Users:
• Open the Microsoft Remote Desktop app.
• For detailed instructions, see our guide: Connecting to your VPS or Server via macOS.
2. Enable Multi-Monitor Support:
For Windows Users:
• Click on Show Options to expand the settings.
• Navigate to the Display tab.
• Check the box labeled Use all my monitors for the remote session.
For macOS Users:
• In the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, select your remote desktop connection.
• Click on Edit.
• Go to the Display tab.
• Check the option Use all monitors.
3. Connect to Your QuantVPS:
• After configuring the display settings, click Connect to initiate your remote session.
Important Notes:
• The Remote Desktop application supports either a single monitor or all monitors in full-screen mode. For example, if you have three monitors, you cannot run the application in full-screen mode across only two; it will either use one or all three.
To Use Specific Monitors:
If you wish to utilize only certain monitors during your remote session, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the RDP File:
• Open the Remote Desktop Connection application.
• Enter your QuantVPS details but do not connect yet.
• Click on Show Options, then Save As to save your connection settings to an RDP file.
2. Identify Monitor IDs:
• On your local computer, press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
• Type mstsc /l and press Enter.
• A list of your monitors with their corresponding IDs will appear. Note the IDs of the monitors you wish to use.
3. Edit the RDP File:
• Right-click on the saved RDP file and select Open with > Notepad.
• Add or modify the following lines:
use multimon:i:1
selectedmonitors:s:0,1
• Replace 0,1 with the IDs of the monitors you wish to use, separated by commas.
• Save and close the file.
4. Connect Using the Modified RDP File:
• Double-click the edited RDP file to initiate the connection with your selected monitors.
By following these steps, you can customize your multi-monitor setup to enhance productivity during your trading sessions on QuantVPS.
