MultiMonitorTool Editor's Review

More than one monitor to a single working station can be a tricky fact for someone that uses the Windows operating system. In order to manage multiple monitors you need a useful application that can offer enough flexibility and simplicity. MultiMonitorTool is the one for this type of job, an utility that allows you to do some actions related to working with multiple monitors.

Like all other NirSoft products MultiMonitorTool is a tiny piece of software that can disable/enable monitors, set the primary monitor, save and load the configuration of all monitors, and move windows from one monitor to another. All these actions can be performed from the user interface or from the command-line. For a better visualization, MultiMonitorTool also provides a preview window, which allows you to watch a preview of every monitor on your system. It might be useful if non-primary monitors are turned off and you want to view the windows displayed in the other monitors.

The user interface of MultiMonitorTool contains 2 panes: an upper one that displays the list of all monitors detected on your system, and a lower one that displays the details of all visible windows on the selected monitor. In this way you can easily save the current configuration of all monitors on your system, including the screen resolution, colors depth, and monitor position of every monitor. This is useful when you make changes and you are not satisfied with the settings of you monitors because you can restore back the saved monitors configuration.

This utility works on any version of Windows for both 32-bit and x64 systems without requiring any type of installation or additional dll files. Just run the executable file, and the utility will start instantly.

Pro's: free, easy to use, small, requires no installation;

Con's: old-school user interface;

Conclusion: MultiMonitorTool extends NirSoft's portfolio of useful and versatile utilities.
