Display Menu 4+

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 Mac OS able to remember all the monitors resolution and position, so even after quit the software or uninstall this software, MAC 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"

I was installing a new Mac 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 Mac 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 Mac. 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!

I wrote a sort of negative review many years ago. Developer must have fixed the issue, Display Menu is essential now, and very handy. I click that taskbar icon several times every day..

The OLD issue that’s not an issue for me any more: “I go back and forth between mirroring monitors a lot. My monitors are in separate rooms, not side by side. I mirror at 1280 x 768 resolution. However, when I toggle mirroring with display menu, it defaults to 800 x 600, which is so close the display menu gets bumped off the bar, forcing me to open "System Preferences" anyway. Defeats the purpose of having Display Menu running at all.

I've written to the developer asking if there's any way to get Display menu to either remember the last setting used, or default to a higher resolution.”
