VMware Workstation or Virtualbox [4K Display]

Hello dear fellows ,


I have a Lenovo Y50 with 4K display (3860x2160) But VMware Workstation 11 and Latest of virtualbox doesn't support this resolution for display of VM.


Is there solution for running VM with this resolution ?

Thanks .

    I would imagine you would need to use pcie pass through and embed the native hardware in to the VM however as this is a laptop I cant see you getting far with that.

    Despite the fact that the VMs do not support such resolutions (afaik, haven't tried so far), have you found a solution for the VMware Workstation 11 GUI? The icons are horribly small on my 4K laptop and that kinda sucks.

    VMWare supports these resolution. I have a 5K Display and VMWare Fusion and it's supported alright.

    If the Mac Version supports it, I don't see why the Windows version would not.

    No , I didn't find anything for fixing this problem too.
