Displays Unlocked

Display Maestro gives you full control over attached displays, allowing the use of all available resolutions and bit depths. Latest versions of macOS strip out the useful ability to set specific resolutions and presents a more user-friendly approach.

Experienced users, especially graphic designers and presenters, demand more precise control of their devices. Access exactly the resolution you need with Display Maestro's traditional Mac-like menu.


Access the full list of resolutions and bit-depths supported by the graphics card and attached display. Note that some graphics cards may limit the display's options.

Older games and apps sometimes require the use of precise resolutions, and can no longer set these automatically due to changes in macOS. Display Maestro lets you pick exactly the configuration you need.

Display Maestro implements functionality that will detect if an unsafe resolution was chosen and will automatically revert to the last known safe resolution if confirmation is not given.

It works fine! I´m satisfied.

Felix Jean-Pierre Felixine

Without a doubt a great piece of software that works like a charm :)

Stephen Janse van Rensburg

I'm usually wary about third-party apps that screw around with your settings, but this one is good. Everything reverts back to normal once you quit the app so you don't have to worry about permanently botching something up. A great addition to an already great operating system.

Max Rosenberg

needed a way to control the display size on a headless Minimac and this solved the problem completely.

Mike Matyas

Great tool for testing!

Carlos Garro

I was upset when Apple decided to remove 256-color in Leopard. This app fixed my problem right away. The best part about it is that it just feels like an extension of the OS itself. Very well done and totally worth the five bucks.

Great to present in diferent environments outside my home and office Great Help

Jorge A Diaz Lopez

Display Maestro made my MBP 15 event more efficient than my iMac27! Thanks

Xiaoze Yang

can very easily change monitor resolution, very good

Alben

Retro Mac gaming for the win! I love this app. It makes my life so much easier. I was pretty bummed when I noticed that Apple had removed the 256-color display option. This app fixes that problem right away. Thanks for being awesome, Koingo. As always.
