Remote Desktop with 2560x1440 resolution

Use Microsoft Remote Desktop

Find the default.rdp file and edit it in notepad.
Enter these anywhere in the file, end is easiest

screen mode id:i:1
use multimon:i:0
desktopwidth:i:2560
desktopheight:i:1440
smart sizing:i:1

the width and height define the resolution that you want to connect at on the VM
smart sizing allows the screen to scale

It should "hopefully" work for you, good luck :p
 
I had issues with a high DPI screen: resolution under MSFT RDP sucked. If you have a 4K screen the following may help:

Regular Remote Desktop is not aware of DPI scaling but Microsoft Remote Desktop Manager is.

Link to MSFT http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=21101

Tab: Remote Desktop Settings, uncheck Inherits from Parent
Select Full Screen under Remote Desktop Size.

Have 3840x2160 and using the manager instead of regular Remote Desktop worked perfectly.
