Monitor
This site collects monitor utilities, including tools for custom resolutions, pixel clocks, and display configuration.
About Monitor
Monitor Tests is a download hub for Windows monitor utilities created by ToastyX. The collection includes the Custom Resolution Utility (CRU), the Scaled Resolution Editor (SRE), AMD/ATI and NVIDIA pixel clock patchers, an EDID/DisplayID Writer, the Strobelight LightBoost utility, SoftCursor, and a SimCity 3000 resolution patcher. The programs focus on custom resolutions, pixel clocks, EDID and DisplayID editing, and display configuration beyond what graphics drivers expose by default.
The site also hosts guides, release notes, and a section describing planned work, including a possible monitor database and search engine and a rewritten version of CRU. The software has been provided free, with the author asking for support through Patreon to fund continued updates. Several tools carry caveats: writing a new EDID or DisplayID requires a monitor that is not write-protected, and some planned resolution-testing features are noted as possibly triggering driver bugs that can cause crashes.
