SwitchDisplay is an application that gives you the possibility to create and manage multiple profiles with different display configuration settings.

This way, you can quickly cycle through numerous resolution modes for your monitor without having to access the Windows built-in options dedicated to this task.

There's no installation involved, which makes SwitchDisplay portable. The entire program's wrapped in just one file that you can copy anywhere on the disk or to a removable storage device to seamlessly run it on any PC.

It doesn't need DLLs to run or add new entries to your system registry. However, it auto-creates and updates an .ini file to remember your settings.

Once launched, the utility creates an icon in the system tray to provide quick access to its main panel while letting you carry on with your regular computer activity without any interruptions.

The main window has a neatly structured layout and several presets lined up for swiftly creating a new profile, ranging from 640x480 resolution with 32 bits and 60Hz to 1920x1080 resolution, 8 bits and 60Hz.

The original setting is displayed below, so you don't have to remember it for reverting to default if any display issues occur. In order to create profiles, all you have to do is click one or more presets from the list of available settings to move them to the list with active settings. Their rotation order can be changed.

Unfortunately, the app doesn't implement options for creating custom profiles. Keyboard shortcuts are supported for switching to the next resolution profiles in the list as well as for resetting options to default.

To sum it up, SwitchDisplay provides you with a speedy and effective method for creating and toggling multiple resolution profiles for your monitor. CPU and RAM usage was minimal in our tests.
