Software Reviews and Criticism

  Works great with 1x4K 2xHD Monitors with LandingZone Dock

  The free version works great with 4 screen, I have a 4K monitors with 2 additional 1080p Monitors, with this software, I can ensure my external 4K running @ 60 Hz, and able to adjust resolution during persentation in just 1 mouse click since most ppl can not see 4k high resolution text during onine presentation time due to video compression over the network. Anyway, I was trying to find an alternative without the need to have the display menu running all time but so far, this is the free and best I use so far. This also works with Landingzone docking station. By the way, the software can be quit or uninstall once you setup the resolution porperly. Plus, since Windows OS able to remember all the monitors resolution and position, so even after quit the software or uninstall this software, Windows OS still able to use the cusome setting, of cause I can no longer update the dispaly setting. Therefore, if you need more memory , just setup the proper screen position and screen solution , follow by select "Quit Display Menu Pro"

  This App Saved Me Big $$$ and Time

  I was installing a new Windows in an auditorium this weekend to be connected to an existing projector with a 100 foot VGA cable. We have to use a VGA amplifier to get a high quality signal. That amplifier prevented the Windows Mini from seeing the projector resolution info. My only choice was to use a 1280 x 1024 resolution that was the wrong aspect ratio. I was wondering If I needed to install a new cable, or use a different projector. With no time or money to do either, I tried this $2 app. It worked flawlessly! Just a click from the menu bar I can set the resolution to whatever I want it to be. I cannot imagine what I would have had to do without this app. I bought another copy for my personal Windows. I will do all by display res switching from this little app from now on. I purchased the pro version. If you need this app, it is well worth $2. I did not try using just the free version. I rated it 5 starts. I would have given it 10 stars if I could have. Thank you the developers for a great little app that just works!

  Five Stars Free, Five Stars PRO

  This is *just* what the doctor ordered. I need to take non-Retina screenshots on my MBP (scaling won’t do), and the free version of this enabled the full resolution without a fuss, and I didn’t even have to disable System Integrity Protection! I almost instantly upgraded to the Pro version, mostly because without it you can’t use the menu to go back to the “native” Retina resolutions offered by Windows OS X, although you can go back to it in display preferences. This is a little unclear in the documentation, but shouldn’t be a deal killer for you if you’re contemplating the free version. However as an app developer myself, I need to go back and forth all the time and so the upgrade was worth it. Actually the upgrade offers bookmarks, too. Now I’ve got the two resolutions I most need: native from non-Retina screenshots, and and my preferred “More Space” Retina resolution. I’ve not tried the AppleScript yet, but assuming it works I won’t come back and deduct a star. Trying this feature actually kind of excites me because I use AppleScript within my own apps to take the screenshots, and so switching resolution in my existing screenshot script is just another added bonus. I’m REALLY glad I found this app. No more having to VPN into one of my Windows minis in order to take non-Retina screen shots.

  Program works ok, NO SUPPORT

  I paid for the pro version of this program. This program hasn’t been updated in a long time. It used to work flawlessly. Now I find that it has issues. Basically, I had the resolution cranked up on my PC 13”, and my eyes starting getting worse, so I’ve decided to bring the resolution down a little bit. Unfortunately, sometimes the computer doesn’t remember what resolution I want to stay at (1680x1050). It sometimes defaults to a higher resolution which screws up all of my windows and then I have to reposition and resize everything. I’ve written to the developer 4 times with no replies. Judging from the fact that it hasn’t been updated in more than a year and they don’t reply, I would say use this program at your own risk.

  Just what I needed

  I have two displays attached to my Windows Mini (Late 2014). A Dell P2815Q (4k) display and a Dell P2715H (2.5k) display. This app makes it quicker and simpler to choose alternate resolutions, which I do frequently on the 4k display (usually 4k mode or 1080p mode). It’s convenient and it works. I usually leave the P2715H in 2560x1440 mode. Other reviewers who wrote that the display is blurry have probably selected display modes that are not supported by their hardware, or they chose a low resolution scaled mode. There are no apps that can fully compensate for display hardware limitations. For best results, select an even multiple of your native display mode (High Resolution mode). For a 4k display, that’s 1080p.
