What DisplayMagician is

DisplayMagician is a free Windows utility that applies display and sound settings for a game or application from a shortcut, then can restore the previous settings when it closes. Users can save display profiles, including wallpapers, and shortcuts can choose an audio profile, change audio devices, and 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, desktop context menu, keyboard hotkey, joystick, or a game controller such as an Elgato Stream Deck. Display support includes NVIDIA Surround, AMD Eyefinity, Intel Combined Displays, cloned and extended displays, HDR, rotated screens, refresh rates, USB and wireless display devices, SuperDisplay, and Spacedesk, including Android tablets used as displays. A field-of-view calculator helps configure games for a sim-rig layout. The software requires 64-bit Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or 64-bit Windows 11, and .NET 10.0, which the installer bundle includes.
