I'm using a VPS as I run BA from a MacBook. Is it possible to extend across multiple monitors? I use a DisplayLink driver to extend my MacBook display across two additional monitors but can't see how I can extend the VPS display beyond a single screen.
Any ideas?

Thanks.
Where are these settings?
EDIT: Found them. Doesn't seem to work though... I can now move the display between monitors but cannot extend beyond a single monitor (i.e. have different BA windows open on different screens)

Solutions may differ depending on how you are connecting.
There are a few downsides to spanning monitors on a VPS.
It increases bandwidth usage because more pixels are being streamed, which can introduce extra latency. It also raises CPU and GPU load on the VPS, which can affect performance. Larger display surfaces can make the session more prone to lag or brief freezes if your internet fluctuates. Finally, DPI and scaling differences between Mac and Windows can cause blurry text or awkward window sizing.
For fast markets, it can become noticeable.
