Hi.
I have a Supermicro VDI server with dual Nvidia GRID K2 cards running Windows Server 2012 V2 with Windows 8.1 virtual machines. The drivers on the server are current. Some of my local RDP terminals have 30" monitors @ 2560x1600 and some have 27" Ultra Wide screens @ 2560x1080. I have set the RemoteFX resolution in the Hyper-V manager to be 2560x1600 max for all VMs and yet I cannot get the RDP session to display the ultra wide format. The 16:9 aspect ratio displays fine. The 30" monitors display 2560 x 1600. But the 21:9 will not go full screen. The VMs in those sessions are stuck at 2048x1080. I tried setting the graphics slider in the RDP options to 2560x1080 (that option exists on the slider) but the result stays at 2048x1080. Same if I set it to full screen. If I RDP to the same VM on a host with a 30" screen it shows full resolution. The 27" screens show a 3" black bar on either side. I've tried setting the RemoteFX to dual screen. No change. It will not output to that aspect ratio.
I have seen that this is an ongoing Hyper-V issue on other forums. The only solutions I've seen proposed revolve around using VMWare or Citrix. That is not an option at this point.
If anyone has any ideas to share I would love to hear them. Is there a fix aside from buying a bunch of different monitors ?
Thanks
