# 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.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/user-device-management-and-client-policies/client-policies/configure-session-settings/display.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
