Description
Display Menu shows a status item in your menu bar that lets you change your display settings with a single click.
Depending on your display setup, you can set the screen resolution, toggle mirroring, and adjust the refresh rates.
You can enable additional features like Retina resolutions (on Retina Displays), AppleScript support, and resolution bookmarks as a paid upgrade.
What's New in Version 2.2.1
Version 2.2.1 adds visual updates for OX 10.10 Yosemite and backwards compatibility for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

------- 2.1 ---------
Added an option to show low-fidelity alternatives to the Retina resolutions in the menu.
------- 2.0.1 ---------
We fixed two bugs that were introduced with version 2.0:
1) Users of the free version did not have the Quartz Debug enabled HiDPI resolutions in their display menu. This bug has been fixed and the free version now works like 1.4 again in this regard.
2) Users of the Pro version with monitors that have slightly varying refresh rates were not able to create bookmarks for some resolutions. With 2.0.1 bookmarking should work as intended for these monitors.
------- 2.0 ---------
With version 2.0 we have added a number of great new features to our Display Menu software! From the large collection of emails we have received from you over the last year, we have distilled the three most wanted and, hopefully, most useful bits of added functionality and implemented them. While we are pretty happy how the new features have turned out, it was still a lot of work: apart from solving a number of technical difficulties, we went through a long design process to include the new functionality but, at the same time, keep Display Menu's UI streamlined and uncluttered. This is also the reason why we decided to bundle the *new* features only with the new 'Pro' version of Display Menu. The basic free version of version 2.0 still contains all the features from version 1.4; the Pro version is a paid upgrade that you can purchase from within the App.

Most Valuable App that I have ever purchased!
When Apple released the ‘Retina’ Macbook, they took away the capability to set the screen resolution to a specific resolution. (Rather, they now have ‘scaling’ with fluffy values like ‘Larger Text’ and ‘More Space’ rather than discrete values.)
When I had to do a demo/presentation at a conference, I was suddenly unable to set the output resolution to the specific resolution that I needed for my demo (which at that time was 720p). I then stumbled onto this wonderful utility, and suddenly I have EVEN MORE control over output resolutions than ever before.
This utility was a life saver - and at such a cheap price, it is truly incredible value.
Outstanding
With Yosemite, the 1920x1080 screen option in settings/display disappeared. I spent (I am ashamed to say) half a day trying to properly configure my non-Apple second monitor after installing Yosemite, and couldn’t get it just right. This little app fixed the problem in seconds and my screen looks better than ever. The app does exactly what it promises, and more.
ReceiptCheckin
I have another MAC that I keep offline that I want to use this application with. But I can’t because sha1 of my online computer + receipt doesn’t match the sha1 of the offline computer + receipt. I’m not sure why a receipt is necessary, considering the app is free.
