| The novaTopFlex philosophy recommends various display resolutions and aspect ratios for various virtual machines, depending on the specification. | |
| Aspect ratios recommended for virtual machine systems include: | |
| Landscape Aspect Ratios | |
| 16:9 --> High-definition aspect ratio | |
| 16:10 (8:5) --> Common notebook aspect ratio | |
| 5:4 --> Nonstandard landscape aspect ratio | |
| 4:3 --> Standard-definition aspect ratio | |
| 3:2 --> Common tablet aspect ratio landscape | |
| Square Aspect Ratio | |
| 1:1 | |
| Portrait Aspect Ratios | |
| 2:3 --> Common tablet aspect ratio portrait | |
| 3:4 --> Standard-definition aspect ratio rotated 90/270 degrees | |
| 4:5 --> Nonstandard portrait aspect ratio | |
| 10:16 (5:8) --> Common notebook aspect ratio rotated 90/270 degrees | |
| 9:16 --> High-definition aspect ratio rotated 90/270 degrees | |

These display resolutions are based on QEMU, which as of early 2024 tends to have less stable VGA configurations when either dimension is in excess of 4,096 pixels.
With Virtual Network Computing (VNC), higher display resolutions may or may not be successful. With TigerVNC, a limited amount of graphics processing is necessary for the display, but more displays than officially supported numbers through virtualization are possible. With TightVNC, even less resource consumption is required, as the rendering is completely unrelated to the GPU.
In addition to the 16:9, 16:10, 5:4, 4:3, 3:2, and 1:1 aspect ratios, novaTopFlex recommends (for VNC) configurations of 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1, particularly for TightVNC where the maximum possible 1:1 display resolution is 8192x8192 and the maximum possible 4:1 or 1:4 display resolutions are 16384x4096 or 4096x16384.
