Some monitors don't come with too many display controls and if you have a laptop, you an forget about even the most basic controls. Fortunately, you can overcome this limitation with third party utilities, like ControlMyMonitor. This simple application gives you the possibility of changing a wide range of settings on your display, from simple things, like brightness and contrast, to advanced ones, like refresh rate. The software is quite easy to use, so you can adjust your display without any effort.

ControlMyMonitor is offered as a freeware application. You can use it on any modern Windows system, without meeting any special requirements. Also, you don't have to go through an installation process. Simply unpacking and running an executable is all you have to do.

All the settings you can change are displayed in a list, on the main user interface. If you wish to change the brightness or other settings, you only need to click an item in the list and specify a new value on a small window. Alternatively, you can just select an entry in the list, hold down the CTRL key and rotate the mouse wheel to increase or decrease the current value. You can set the application to modify the value by a specific increment by making a selection in one of the top menus.

ControlMyMonitor gives you access to certain settings that you may not even find on your monitor. The settings displayed in the list are color-coded, to indicate which ones can be read, written or otherwise. You can also find settings that are marked as "manufacturer specific".

Another advantage is the fact that the software provides support for multiple monitors. It automatically detects all monitors attached to your computer and you can target a specific monitor by selecting it in a drop menu. If you wish to revert to your original settings, even though you've made too many changes to remember them, you can take advantage of the software's profiling system. It is a simple matter of saving your configurations as a file on the hard drive and loading it if you wish to instantly switch to another set of settings.

ControlMyMonitor gives you full control over your monitor's settings, regardless if you have a desktop computer or a laptop.


Pros

The software gives you access to a wide range of configuration options for your monitor. Everything is displayed in a list and you can make your changes on the fly. Also, you can save your settings and load them when you need to go back.

Cons

There are no obvious issues to address.
