Editor's review of DisplaySwitch Platinum

• 3.0 stars

• "DisplaySwitch Platinum"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: DisplaySwitch Platinum 1

Conveniently switch your screen's display resolution from the system tray with DisplaySwitch Platinum. This program doesn't have an interface; it simply resides in your system tray for you to easily access numerous resolution settings with a trouble-free right click. Interchangeable display settings are available in several 4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit color resolutions. Just select a setting and the program immediately applies it. It can be configured to run at system start-up, and you'll be able to access the Windows display property window from DisplaySwitch Platinum's icon. Even though this free utility duplicates the built-in Windows display properties, users will appreciate the convenience and supplementary resolutions it brings.

  "It's so user friendly, so easy to use."

  by Holybride on September 1, 2008

  Pros: Just right click the Display Switch icon on the system tray, and choose the colour depth and resolution, that's it. If you want to change the colour depth and resolution, right click the icon again on the system tray and choose. Sooooooo Simple......

  Cons: Nothing ya all. I mean it. Nothing.
  However, I've also downloaded Display Switch Gold and found it's just the same file with Display Switch Platinum. Is there any mistakes in the database, or are they trully the same file.

  Summary: I like it, I like it, I like it.

  "Short On Customization"

  by Creativescape on December 12, 2007

  Pros: Convenient way to change Windows Display Settings parameters.

  Cons: Doesn't support dual monitors. Doesn't allow you to set custom nor widescreen resolutions. I'd like to switch back and forth between my monitor's 4:3 resolution and my HDTV's widescreen resolution. However, this program doesn't allow for widescreen res.

  "OK Product, but suspicious website"

  by andrewj on February 19, 2005

  Pros: The product seems to do what it says, although I couldn't find any evidence of the ability to use a settings file as suggested in the other reviews.

  Cons: The "support" website is just an online pharmacy, no evidence of any support for the software. I just hope the software isn't infected with spyware too.
