# Display

To configure display settings, select the **Display** node and then configure the groups of settings described below.

### Settings

Select the desired video acceleration mode and color depth.

### Multi-monitor

Specify which monitors should be used for a session if more than one monitor is connected to the user's computer.

The following options are available:

* **All:** All displays.
* **Primary:** User's primary display.
* **Selected:** User can select one or several displays manually. To use this option for a published desktop, you need to select **Full Screen** in **Publishing** category > select the published desktop > **Desktop** tab > **Desktop Size**.

### Published applications

Specify the options as follows:

* **Use primary monitor only:** Select this option to start published applications on the primary monitor. Other monitors connected to a user's computer will not be used.
* **Use dynamic desktop resizing:** Select this option if you want published resources to use the display settings of the local desktop.
* **Enable Z-order mode (Experimental):** Select this option if you encounter an issue related to z-order in applications published with Parallels RAS. Most issues can be resolved by selecting **(4) Improved heuristic mode**. If this does not help, try the solution described in [**Resolving z-order issues**](/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/common-management-tasks/resolving-z-order-issues.md).

### Desktop options

Specify the desktop options as follows:

* **Smart-sizing:** Choose a smart sizing option. The **Scale (fit to window)** option scales a remote desktop to fit the connection window. The **Resize (update resolution)** option updates the resolution dynamically (without the need to reconnect) based on the window size. To disable smart sizing, select **Disabled**.
* **Embed desktop in launcher**. Enable this option to access a published desktop inside Parallels Client.
* **Span desktop across all monitors**. Enable this option to span published desktops across all connected monitors.
* **Connection bar in full screen**. Specify whether the connection bar should be pinned, unpinned, or hidden when connecting in full-screen mode.

### Browser

This section applies to Parallels Web Client only. Specify whether a remote application should open in the same or a new tab in a web browser by default.
