When you connect to a device using RealVNC Connect you see the entire desktop of the remote device, regardless of how many monitors it spans. You can cycle through or select a particular remote monitor to view or you can use the parameter system to restrict RealVNC Server to only remote a particular monitor if you wish.
The resolution of the remote access session is controlled by the remote device you are connected to, for example connecting to a device running RealVNC Server with a 4K monitor attached to it means that the remote desktop will be remoted at 4K.
