Product Description:

Your monitor flickers, stressing your eyes? The usual resolutions aren't enough? Then this program is probably what you need.

Mac OS X provides only rather few resolutions and often only at refresh rates below 100Hz. With this program you can adjust your Mac to optimally match your monitor. You get up to 30 different resolutions at high refresh rates. Without registration only low to mid size resolutions are supported.

Works with most decent vga monitors and graphic cards (check the web page for details).

What's new in this version:

Optionally keeps default resolutions.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2 or higher
  • Multi scan monitor

DisplayConfigX CommentaryThis is a PowerPC-only app. - Version: 1.09, 9/3/2009 06:51PM PST

Unfortunately this app is PowerPC-only and requires Rosetta. It's time to recompile this thing for Intel; even the OS doesn't support PowerPC anymore (as of SnowLeopard).

DisplayConfigX Reviewinterlaced modes *do* work for MacMini - Version: 1.09, 3/18/2006 12:15AM PST

Just wanted to give this guy full credit! With generous email support from the author, i realised my problem (reported earlier) was just pilot error. I am now easily able to output interlaced video formats from my MacMini (Early 2006 model, Intel Core Duo, with the intel GMA 950 graphics chipset). I'd like the user interface to be a wee bit more obvious, but it surely gets the job done! Excellent stuff!

DisplayConfigX Troubleshooting ReportNo 1080i for new MacMini? - Version: 1.09, 3/16/2006 12:37PM PST

I wrote to the author several days ago, and did not hear back.

The author claims "compatability with the new MacMini", however, I can not make it work with 1080i. I see others are having success with 1080i on other machines. When I add that resolution and restart, it does NOT show up in the menu (as 480p does show up). What am I doing wrong?

The software seems to be perfect, except I can't find value in it if it doesn't work on my setup. I'm happy to re-evaluate if i've done something wrong. Thanks.
