Virtual Display Manager

Although multiple monitors hooked up to the same computer can increase productivity, this particular setup has a few drawbacks as well. Less space on your desk, the need for new hardware or increased costs are a few examples. Virtual Display Manager aims to supplement single or multi-monitor setups, by adding virtual displays, on which you can place specific applications and make different settings.

The software is free to try for a limited period of time. It works on Windows XP and all later versions, up to Windows 8, including several Server editions. Besides the program's setup file, you also need to download a license file and load it during the installation process, otherwise the program won't launch.

Virtual Display Manager works in the background, but you can bring up its tabbed user interface through a system tray icon. The software allows you to prepare and save multiple virtual display configurations, which you can apply on your screen at a moment's notice when you need to. Additionally, you can tick a few extra options, before applying your configurations, to shrink the task bar or use off-monitor edges.

When defining a new virtual display setup, you can either choose one of many predefined layouts or create a new one yourself. It is also possible to associate one or more resolutions to each setup. Besides creating display setups, you can also target specific applications on your computer and make their interfaces show up on specific virtual displays.
