I am using WinVNC on mutliple Computers.
One of them has a high resolution display 2560 x 1440 pixel
When I reomtely connect to this computer I see only a part of the screen and I have to use the scrollbars to see the different edges of this screen.
How can I adjust WinVNC to show me the full screen ? I haven't found any option for this.

To adjust WinVNC (often known as VNC Viewer) for better management of high-resolution displays and avoid needing to scroll around, you can try the following:

  • Scaling Options: Look for scaling options in your VNC Viewer. Some versions allow you to scale the remote screen, fitting it to your local screen size to avoid scrolling.

  • Resolution Settings: Before connecting, go into the VNC settings and configure the display scaling. You may find it under "Options" or "Properties" depending on your viewer. Set it to "Auto" or "Fit to window."

  • Display Settings: If your VNC Viewer does not have the options above, consider changing the resolution of the remote display before connecting. You can change it in the computer's display settings to a lower resolution that fits better with your viewing screen.

If none of these options are available, you might want to look into updating your VNC software to a version that includes better support for high-resolution displays.
