Changing the resolution of our team can be a more or less complex problem, depending on the knowledge we have about macOS. If our knowledge, they are not very wide, we can make use of third-party applications, applications that allow us change the resolution from the menu bar.
Today we are talking about another similar application, but that offers us many more functions beyond being able to change the resolution of our equipment. I'm talking about SwitchResX, an application that allows us create different desktops on our team with resolutions and settings different color.
These settings are stored in the application and they run every time we start our team. It also allows us to easily disable the monitor of our MacBook to be able to use it with an external keyboard, monitor and mouse. Each desktop or monitor that we create or connect, we can associate with a series of keyboard shortcuts, Apple scripts, opening applications and more.
Take full control of your screen resolution
Advanced features allow us create and enable new resolutions for our monitor, HDTV, LCD or plasma screen or video projector. SwithResX allows us to interact with the application from the upper menu bar or from the icon of the application itself, functions that we detail below:
- Monitor resolution
- Color depth
- video mirroring
- Screen rotation
- Screen overscan
- Generous features
With SwitchResX it is very easy to adjust the resolution of your screen to suit any application or use. While you take advantage of the benefits of the Retina screen of our MacBook to work or watch movies, we can automatically switch to HD-TV resolution when starting the DVD player or to the usual resolution of the projector when opening Powerpoint. With SwitchResX you can mirror screens both horizontally and vertically, thus creating amazing effects.
SwitchResX is not available in the Mac App Store, so we have to go to the developer website in order to download the trial version, a trial version that allows us use the application for 10 days for free. After those days, we have to go through the checkout if we want to take advantage of the full potential that the application offers us. The application is priced at 14 euros, a more than reasonable price for the functionality it offers us.
