DisplayFusion for Windows

Used DisplayFusion for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffApril 23, 2015

When one monitor isn't enough, you may appreciate the monitor management options this free utility provides.

DisplayFusion installs an icon in your system tray that holds a menu for configuring a multimonitor setup for your system. The tabbed menus are well organized and clearly designed for ease of use and reading.

This application performed well in our tests, responding quickly to our commands. We liked that we could configure hot key combinations for a number of tasks, such as moving a window to the center of a monitor, resizing a window, or spanning a window across all monitors. Other favorites include the capability to customize how items are dragged from one screen to another and synchronizing wallpaper across multiple monitors. Editing options was a simple process, and accessing a variety of controls was a snap, including resetting all hot keys with one click. We also appreciated how the developers allowed for support in German and Spanish, as well as English.

Any user who works with multiple monitors should give this top-notch freeware a try.

DisplayFusion Pro great! -- and website NOT dead!
NilsGOJune 7, 2016
Pros
I tried the trial version and after two weeks decided to purchase the Pro version. Their website is NOT dead. I have it running on my Dell Precision with FHD display (1920x1080) and two external monitors: a 4K (3840x2160) and a FHD (1920x1080) and it works great. I set up for each display to have a different background, that changes every 5 minutes. Each display can have the command icons along the bottom of the display. Left clicking the mouse can bring up the DisplayFusion settings window. All kinds of other features to be explored.
Cons
None (yet).
Summary
Excellent program for multiple displays (in my case, three).
Website dead. Can't seem to buy PRO version
SFwriterFebruary 26, 2016
Pros
I only have the FREE version because the Display Fusion website appears to be dead. The free version offers a lot of functionality, but I really wanted to try the multi-screen taskbars. Since that's not possible, I'm utilizing a program called Dual Monitor Taskbar, which actually runs all three of my monitors, so it's an adequate substitute.
Cons
Their website is dead so you can't buy the PRO VERSION. I like the free version enough that I would've purchased it if possible...
Summary
You get a fair amount of functionality out of the free version. It's too bad they gave up on the PRO VERSION.
Really good, but it's a system hog
ravellsOctober 9, 2012
Pros
I run three monitors. The features I love are: 1. being able to have different wall paper on each monitor 2. A screensaver that runs different pictures from my photo directory on all three monitors with each showing a different picture. 3. Separate quicklaunch bars on each monitor.
Cons
My system briefly pauses every few seconds. I also found it impossible to exit the program. Even after I exited it, it kept running. I uninstalled the program, restarted my computer and I still have 3 different wallpapers on 3 monitors.
Summary
Great if you don't mind your system slowing a lot, Otherwise it's not for you. Your best bet is to download the free trial and see how it gets on with your system. It's such a pity it's a system hog - it would have been a great addition.
Trouble loading. Continues to hang!!

Pros
Once working it is fine.
Cons
The warning "one version of display fusion is already running" every time I start the computer. Please give me a break!
Summary
Very useful for multiple monitors
mwildersDecember 20, 2011
Pros
If you have 3 monitors like me then you need this program. I also have a huge TV attached to my system and I would be very frustrated if I did not have this software. - I can control all my backgrounds including random changes - I can see my windows start button on all my monitors - great for not having to run back and forth from my PC to my TV - I can change my windows login image - I can control all my keyboard shortcuts
Cons
Software continuously tries to access the developer's website until you buy the product but well worth the money.
Summary
Must have for multiple monitors.
Nice program very easy to figure out
lookyloo6943moreOctober 6, 2011
Pros
It's done everything that windows wasn't able to do with 2 screens ... two different images , one image stretched, two task bars ( trial version ) I don't think I've even scratched the surface lol
Cons
You have to buy the real version to do some of the cool things
Summary
Overall its a great program and it does what it says it'll do ... was very hard to settle for free version when some of the options belonged in the pay side so I bought the program ... I think both options a re very good but if you would like more functionality you may buy the pro version too
Many features for multiple monitors
JohnNeutroOctober 1, 2011
Pros
- Customize all your monitors - Control apps between monitors
Cons
- No way to add a windows start button to all monitors for easier control on monitors far away with remote keyboards
Summary
Enough features for most users
Caused my screens to shift sideways and wrap around.
July 23, 2011
Pros
Nothing good to say.
Cons
This program caused my screens to shift, moving the edges of the viewing to wrap around and meet in the middle of the monitor.
Summary
This program sucked for me, others may have good things to say, but I don't.
not totally free
even0ddsJune 14, 2011
Pros
none at all
Cons
I already use a FREE program to switch and stretch my wallpaper. I want a program to stretch screensaver. This "free" program offers it only for pro (paid) users
Summary
Getting pretty tired of these "free" programs.Just be honest, it is free with limited function.
Have not got it to work yet.

Pros
None to say at this time
Cons
None yet will let you know later.
