Screen size and resolution question

[BigDtheITGuy]

Hello all, I have a VMware workstation 15 player instance, I have both a W10 and a CentOS VMs present.

Both VMs have a similar issue.

Full screen does not work properly and I cannot enlarge past 1920x1080

My monitor is 2560x1440, if I hit fullscreen I get letterbox style black bars around the entire image, and if you move a window out, it disappears, like moving it off the side of the monitor.

I have tried with and without hardware acceleration, told it to auto detect, tried to manually set the resolution as well.  The VM has 16gb of base ram assigned and 6 processors, and 3gb for video, base system resources are 32gb, 20 cores, and 11gb for video respectively, so there isn't a lack of said resources available.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Assuming the VMware Tools are installed in the guests, you should be able to use the full host screen resolution.  For the Windows guest, you can manually add resolutions - see knowledgebase article 1003.
