Looking for a VNC replacement that handles three monitors
RealVNC works well, but the cost is no longer affordable. The needed setup is for work, not watching video or gaming, so the main goal is smooth office use without freezes. The connection should stay if possible, because a VPN on the work computer may block tools that need to go through an outside server.
The key requirement is support for three monitors at the same time. The viewing side has one ultrawide monitor, while the remote computer has three 1920-pixel-wide screens. UltraVNC, TightVNC, and TigerVNC were either too slow or did not handle the three-screen setup properly.
Sunshine and may be options, but most information about them focuses on games, so their fit for office work is unclear.
Key points
- RealVNC works, but the is the problem.
- The use case is office work, so stability matters more than video quality.
- A VPN may interfere with tools that rely on an outside server.
- UltraVNC, TightVNC, and TigerVNC were too slow or weak on three-monitor support.
- The main need is seeing three remote screens at once from one ultrawide monitor.
