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.

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.

Got totally boned by Mac regarding displays. Display maestro to the rescue!
Nikki Staley
Great app! You can do whatever you want with it, but as soon as you quit, your screen reverts back to what you had it set to beforehand. You don't need to worry about screwing up. Love it!
Madison Cundy
To have the big resolution on small screen is the best way to upgrade your screen size without change the screen itself.. Thank you very much for the innovation!! This is COOLL!!

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.

This is perfect! I have multiple monitors set up and this is just what I needed. So simple and useful. Worth every penny I paid for it. I probably would have paid thrice that if you'd asked me to.
Colton Rau
It even works with multiple display devices. I'm impressed. The details about each resolution is a nice touch, too. I'd recommend this for anyone with multiple displays, and I know there's a lot of that out there these days.

Solved the problem we had with Apple OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) Control Panel not recognizing our Matrox 3 monitor external display array. Display Maestro allows us to set the resolution to the full values allowed for the external display array.
