Changing your desktop resolution is quick and easy with Frix QuickRes. Convenient drop-down lists let you assign several screen resolutions for two modes of operation. The interface includes a shortcut button for the Windows display properties menu, and you can save and restore desktop icon positions. Using the system-tray icon, you can quickly switch from your current screen resolution to another. Although we would have liked to see a comprehensive help file to discuss features and resolution issues, Frix QuickRes covers all the other bases. This handy utility is a free, convenient option for people who often toggle between work and videos on their PCs.
I'm so used to manually adjusting my display settings for movies or work, I forget what a pain in the butt it is. QuickRes is a one click, you're done utility that someone should have created years ago. Thanks Mr. Gates!
Cons
So far no cons at all. But I will let you know if I find any
Summary
This utility is so "must have", it should have been built into the operating system in the first place.
