MultiRes

MultiRes is a very simple application that allows you to change screen resolution with just a few clicks. Although performing that task might sound like piece of cake to many of you, the whole job can be done even more easily, especially when working with more than a single monitor.

MultiRes comes with support for up to 9 display devices, which is indeed a great feature for this kind of software solution. Plus, it has dedicated options to set refresh rates but also to open the Windows 'Display Properties' menu and thus get into some more advanced configuration settings.

The tool permanently sits in the System Tray and provides you all the aforementioned goodies with just a single click. It has only a bunch of options, including the possibility to lock refresh rates, use a Windows XP style and introduce a special confirmation dialog every time you make changes.

Other than that, MultiRes remains a simple utility from all points of view, and that's also the reason why it lacks some important features. For instance, it doesn't even have a help manual, so users looking for some help on a specific option will have to search the web for more information.

The good side about MultiRes is definitely its simplicity, but the same thing could be considered a drawback as well. Since it was designed to be so simple, it lacks a lot of things, and the aforementioned help manual is just one of them.

So all in all, MultiRes is definitely worth a shot, especially if you work with multiple monitors at the same time and you need to change resolution in a second. Even if it does not come equipped with many features, it's easy enough to use by anyone and quietly sits in the system tray until needed.
