What is Display Hot Keys?

This project was created to circumvent the tedious navigation of the Windows settings menus to change display settings. With Display Hot Keys, the display resolution, bit depth, refresh rate, scaling mode, and DPI scale percentage can be changed for each connected display with user-defined hot keys.

Common Use Cases

  • Switch refresh rates to quickly enable the Black Frame Insertion or Backlight Strobing capabilities of the display.
  • Quickly switch between resolutions with different aspect ratios.
  • Immediately apply a resolution without entering the in-game menus for video game benchmarking purposes.
  • Enlarge or shrink the elements on screen by instantly changing the DPI scale percentage.
  • Instantly set a display mode while in a video game. (This is useful if a video game does not support changing the resolution or refresh rate while in-game.)

This application was made only for the Windows platform. Display Hot Keys also uses elevated privileges to set display modes while in video games. Therefore, if you have UAC enabled, you will get a UAC prompt upon launching the application. If you no longer wish to see this prompt, you can disable UAC. The sections that follow will help you get the application up and running on your PC.
