PC resolution change on the fly

[dvasco]

I have to switch PC resolutions based on resolution of videos to remove tearing and also when I want to check a website, such as now. It got old doing it the way I was and I had to squint to see what I was clicking on when trying to change from 1920x1080. This is all on the 42" LCD TV that is 13 feet away. I was going to ask if you guys knew of way to set up a hot key to change PC resolution on the fly, but I did one more search and I found Screen Mode Switch. It is free and awesome. I thought I might share it with you guys since some of you might be in or end up in a similar situation.

I use Display Changer from 12moon (a freebie) http://www.12noon.com/displaychanger.htm

you can create as many shortcuts as you like, with a command following if you like.
I use it to change res for my main machien when VNC'ing in from a lesser machine.

There is some damn good stuff floating out there if/when you can find it

Display Changer changes your desktop width, height, color depth, and refresh rate (frequency) temporarily or permanently (via command line switches). Display Changer can run another application in a specific display resolution and return to the previous resolution when the application finishes. Command line switches let you alter only certain settings and choose the best refresh rate (or a specific one).
