Reviewed by: CNET Staff
As the name implies, this simple executable lets you easily change your screen's resolution. Resolution Changer SX2 adds an icon to your system tray that has a menu with the program's options. You can instantly apply one of four preset resolutions or go to a secondary menu with more options, and the preset can be changed to whatever four suit your needs best. Resolution Changer SX2 lets you change the color depth as well, from 16 colors to 32 bit. There isn't a help file, but none is needed. This program is easy-to-understand and works quickly, removing a number of steps from the traditional Windows method. Anyone looking for a shortcut to changing screen resolution will be pleased with this freeware program.Publisher's description

Version: Resolution Changer SX2 1.0.8
Pros: Simple, easy, and it works great. Does what it says.
I like programs I don't have to install, especially ones for simple tasks such as this.
Cons: It can't work from a hotkey (that I know of), but then, that's why I have AutoHotkey.

Pros: It works! If you need a taskbar icon that you can click and then choose your resolution from the menu, this is do that perfectly.
So this is a five star product. Does what it does great and no bloat.
By the way, I am running it in Vista, works great!

Version: Resolution Changer SX2 1.0.8
Pros: Personally I don't know why download.com gave it such a low rating. Sure it a very simple program, but that is the point. It needs to be small and do what it does: change resolutions. Anything else would make it bulky. I give it 5 Stars, for each of use, ease of installation. And amazingly 'small' file-size after install. (It also take up almost nothing in memory.!)

Version: Resolution Changer SX2 1.0.8
Pros: Simple. Does exactly what I need.
Cons: None at all.
Summary: My new laptop has a 1920x1080 widescreen display. I like to run it in this native resolution but some apps, like Photoshop Elements SE become unuseable since the menus and icons get too tiny. This app lets me *quickly* downshift to the next lowest... read more >>
