🖥️ Instantly See How Your Displays Are Really Performing
Ever bought an expensive 4K monitor, only to find the text looks blurry? Or have a 120Hz ProMotion display that feels sluggish?
That happened to me—and the culprit was a hidden setting that had my display running at a lower resolution and refresh rate. The hardware was capable, but the software wasn’t configured correctly.
I built Display Connection Information to save myself from this frustration—and now it can save you too.
🧰 What It Does
Display Connection Information is a lightweight, privacy-respecting Mac menu bar app that gives you real-time details about your displays:
True Resolution & Refresh Rate Instantly see the actual resolution and the current refresh rate (including ProMotion) of all connected monitors.
Professional Color Depth Verify if your display is running in standard 8-bit or higher-quality 10-bit color, essential for accurate creative work.
HDR and Retina Status Check if your display is HDR-capable and confirm that it’s running in high-resolution Retina (HiDPI) mode with the correct scaling factor.
Live Stats, No Digging Just glance at the menu bar—no more digging through System Settings to find the information you need.
