AWS appstream2 documentation change
Summary
Updated monitor resolution support from 2K/4K split to unified 4K support, added performance considerations for 4K monitors, and clarified ultrawide monitor limitations
Security assessment
The changes relate to display resolution capabilities and performance guidance. There is no mention of vulnerabilities, access controls, or security mechanisms. The note about compute capacity requirements is operational guidance rather than security documentation.

If you experience suboptimal performance on 4K monitors, we recommend reducing your display resolution to improve responsiveness. + +Ultrawide monitors with resolutions exceeding 4096 pixels in either dimension (e.g., 5120x2160) will display black bars on the sides, as the maximum supported resolution is limited to 4096 pixels per dimension.
