Connection Information SuiteInstantly 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
A lightweight, privacy-respecting Mac menu bar app that gives you real-time details about your displays.
True resolution & refresh rate
See the actual resolution and current refresh rate (including ProMotion) of every connected monitor.
Professional color depth
Verify whether your display is running in standard 8-bit or higher-quality 10-bit color — essential for accurate creative work.
HDR and Retina status
Check HDR capability and confirm high-resolution Retina (HiDPI) mode with the correct scaling factor.

Just glance at the menu bar — no more digging through System Settings for the information you need.
