What is the ProReviewer Experience?
| Name | DisplayFusion |
| User Level | Any |
| Functionality | Good |
| Complexity | Low |
| Interface | Good |
| General Usability | Good |
| Overall Experience | Good |
| Help | Moderate |
| Resources | Low |
This is virtually an essential program for anyone using a multi-monitor setup unless you want to pay for the shareware program “Ultramon”. If DisplayFusion had the Titlebar buttons to swap monitors or stretch across all monitors it would be perfect for my needs and probably many other users as well. This is another “essential” program in my portable suite.
Personally I rate this as:
Very Useful – Fairly Easy to Use*
* I say Fairly Easy as I find remembering Hotkey combinations for numerous different programs difficult and confusing so I like to have alternatives with buttons and context menus wherever possible
What Could Make it be Better?
- Titlebar buttons for some functions
- Titlebar Context menu for remaining functions
- Local Help File
- Update web based help to latest software version

There’s a very amusing thread about this over at Scene.org’s flames forum – best quote “But it is kind of flattering for them to think that the demoscene coders now have found a way to pack 1 whole tv series episode into a ~30KB file
“.

Neat app. I had a dual monitor setup for awhile but really didn’t like it until I started trading online. The ability to move windows between screens will come in handy.
