8.  Display Resolution Manager from ByteGems.com Software

Tired of fighting with your family members and co-workers for "the right" screen resolution? Get Display Resolution Manager! Display Resolution Manager is simple, yet much needed computer utility that allows each user to set preferred screen resolution. Each time a user logs in, screen resolution, color gamma, brightness and contrast preferences automatically get set to the user-determined values. It

means the people with bad eye-sight won't have to deal with high resolution when the icons and text are so small on the monitor they can't be easily seen. Instead, the resolution will be set lower and

people with bad eye-sight will see large icons and text on their display. The program is also perfect for families, since the majority

of games run in 640x480 and while most people love to keep their desktop at 1600x1200.

Another important feature of Display Resolution Manager is that it is

capable of managing screen resolution for multiple monitors.The program  can also be successfully employed by Win XP co-switch users for setting the correct computer screen resolution.

Another advantage of Display Resolution Manager is that it is extremely easy to administer. System administrators don't have to be concerned with configuring this application. Using the software is intuitive and requires no special knowledge.
