With SwitchResX for Mac you get back control on your screen – or screens even! There are plenty of inbuilt options, that make life a lot easier and more comfortable just by clicking the mouse a few times:
  • Automatically change resolutions to match your different software needs.
  • Match your Mac to your TV set's resolution to enjoy maximum quality of DVD and HD television.
  • Play with mirrored images as an eyecatcher on a trade fair.
With Switch Res X it is totally easy to match your screen resolution to the best for any app or use. While taking the benefits from full Retina for graphics or movie cutting, automatically change to HD-TV resolution when starting DVD Player or the usual beamer resolution when opening Powerpoint.

More resolutions to choose from scratch, easy setup of new display settings, saving desktops right from the menu bar –there are plenty of helpful bits implemented in SwitchResX for macOS, that make life easier. Maybe not for every day use,at home, but for maximum eye catching effects of a trade fair, in a shop window or elsewhere: With the tool you can mirror screens both horizontally and vertically, thus creating stunning effects. Straight from your menu bar!

Like any good pal, It introduces itself to you first of all. Version installed, modules installed, daemon running? This is, where you get to know the details. And if you like, It keeps an eye open for new versions every day. You won't miss any update anymore and will always be up to date. Because SwitchResX is a really good pal!

Preference Pane And More
When installed, the app sits in the Preference Panes and can be activated like any other of those helpers. It pops open in a separate window for easy access of its’ vast amount of functions, that outrun Apples inbuilt Monitor preference pane easily.

Ultimate Control
With the app you can keep control of your screen resolution and the way, every single app displays its content on your screen – or screens! Because Switch Res X can of course handle more than one screen totally individually, it gives you all the freedom and flexibility you need at any time.
