What it is

DisplayMagician applies display and sound setups when a Windows shortcut opens a game or application, and can restore earlier settings after it closes. Users can save display profiles, including wallpapers, and assign audio profiles or devices to shortcuts. Shortcuts can also start or stop helper programs around an application’s launch. Listed launchers include Steam, Ubisoft Uplay, Origin, Epic Games, and GOG.com; shortcuts can be launched from the desktop, notification tray, context menu, hotkey, joystick, or game controller. Display support includes NVIDIA Surround, AMD Eyefinity, Intel Combined Displays, cloned and extended displays, HDR, rotated screens, and refresh rates. USB and wireless display devices are supported, as are SuperDisplay and Spacedesk, including Android tablets used as displays. A field-of-view calculator is included for matching games to a sim-rig layout. DisplayMagician is free and supports per-game profiles and game library scanning. It requires 64-bit Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or 64-bit Windows 11, plus .NET 10.0, included in the installer bundle.
