    I have a Macbook Pro 2017 with Retina connected to a 34" Dell monitor with 3440*1440 resolution.
    I want to use Coherence, but i want Windows to display image in 1-1 pixel by pixel.
    However, in Coherence both PD12 and PD13 make Windows believe that the resolution is 6880*2880 causing unsightly font issues.
    In PD12, i would switch to fullscreen and then immediately to Coherence, which would let Windows believe the correct resolution is there.
    However in PD13, when i am in FullScreen, 'Enter Coherence' option is disabled in the menu.
    Any suggestions here?

    Note: i got Windows to believe it has the native resolution using 'Scaled' graphics mode, but the fonts look a bit blurred.

    Actually, i have now downgraded to PD12 and i am experiencing the same issue... I have created a new VM with Windows 10 when i installed PD13. It seems that some setting somewhere prevents me from switching display modes directly. This is very annoying. I am starting to consider VMware.

    Support said that this is working as designed.

    However, i was definitely able to get it to switch coherence & full screen directly when i installed Windows 10 on PD12... i really wonder what is different across the two.
