SwitchResX

Monitor resolution utility.

SwitchResXOverview

SwitchResX gives you unparalleled control over your monitor's resolution.

Resolution Management

Whether you prefer to use the menu bar or nested contextual menus, SwitchResX gives you constant, simplified access to the resolution management options you need. Controls include:

  • Monitor Resolution
  • Color Depth
  • Video Mirroring
  • Display Rotation
  • Display Overscan

Bountiful Features

  • Save your desktop layout, locking and maintaining icon and window positions for all of your open applications every time you start up your Mac. SwitchResX lets you instantly restore your desktop even after resolution-altering events like connecting or disconnecting your external monitor.
  • Disable or deactivate a monitor without physically unplugging it, allowing you to use your MacBook in clamshell mode with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse
  • Link your monitor settings with system events: Key shortcuts, Apple Scripts, Application launches and more.
  • Take complete control over your display resolution: Advanced features let you create and enable new resolutions for your monitor, HDTV, Plasma or LCD screen or Video Projector.

NEW

  • Changes the way it manages switching to a Display Set when an application starts
  • Corrects a problem when starting an application using a Display Set triggering a GPU change
  • Corrects a problem when resetting Display Setting when an application using the discrete GPU (when used) quits
  • Corrects a problem that would apply a Display Set again and again, if the Display Set triggered an Applescript, itself bringing a new application in front
  • Corrects a problem when trying to save a new custom resolution that is just a change from a native resolution
  • Correctly set back the ColorSync profile when quitting an application that would change ColorSync profiles
  • Doesn't list resolutions "0x0" any more, which could be reported available from MacOS X
  • Brings back the option to quit the Dock when disabling a display - this could be useful even on Yosemite
  • Will show if a custom resolution is compliant to any standard formula (GTF, CVT, -RB, -RBv2)
  • Correctly generates custom interlaced resolutions complying to CVT
