I have a comment/question related to the above.

So the concept of NoMachine is to take the remote screens to the displaying machine, and not vice versa?

For example,  when one runs a virtual machine one provides to the virtual machine whatever monitors the host machine has; the guest doesn’t have its own physical displays. I was expecting that similarly, in a NoMachine session,  there would be the possibility to switch the remote computer to use whatever displays the controlling computer has and blank/not use its own physical display if it even has one.

From what I read here (and in the proposed feature request) it looks like the direction is the opposite – to take whatever displays the remote machine has to the local desktop in a separate window each, and if the local computer has multiple monitors, then on /may/ put each remote display into a local one. But what if the remote computer only has one display – then it will ever display locally as one, and one may not extend its desktop into the local multiple monitors?

Greetings.
