A Windows console utility to quickly change display settings including resolution, refresh rate, and scaling mode with multi-monitor support. Packaged as a simple, dependency-free executable compatible with Windows 7 SP1+ (32/64 bit).
./MonitorController -a, --list-all-modes
Print all modes for all active displays. A mode consists of a resolution, refresh rate, color depth, and scaling format. The scaling format determines how to adjust the image when outputting at a resolution below the display's native resolution.
STRETCH: Image is stretched to fit the entire screen.
CENTER: Image is displayed in its original resolution in the center of the screen surrounded by black bars.
DEFAULT: Use the display's default option.

./MonitorController -c, --list-current-modes
Print current mode for all active displays.
./MonitorController -c
DISPLAY1 (Primary):
3440x1440 144hz 32bit DEFAULT
./MonitorController -s, --set-mode [displayNum] modeNum
Change the display mode. displayNum and modeNum are taken from the output of --list-all-modes. If displayNum is omitted, the Primary display will be used by default. The display and mode indexes are generally static unless there is a change in the physical monitor configuration, so they can be cached without having to invoke --list-all-modes repeatedly.
./MonitorController -s 1 207
OK
./MonitorController -h, --help
