How to Change the Display Settings on a Remote Desktop
- 1). Click "Start" and type "remote desktop" in the menu's text box. Press "Enter" to open the configuration and connection window for Remote Desktop.
- 2). Click the "Display" tab. This tab shows you several options. The options control your user experience to the remote computer. The settings you create set up the Remote Desktop display on all computers you view from your local desktop.
- 3). Use the slider to choose the size of the display. Slide it right for a larger display, which means the Remote Desktop window is larger when it connects. Slide it all the way to the right to set it at a full-screen display.
- 4). Choose a color quality in the "Colors" section. Higher-quality color displays take up more resources on the remote computer, and it slows down the connection speed. Choose a lower quality if you have a slow network connection.
- 5). Click the "General" tab. Type the remote computer's name and click "Connect." This option connects to the remote computer and tests your new display settings. Close the connection and reset the settings, if you are not happy with the display results.
