There are more options when customising your display than you might think. Resolutions, refresh rates, rotation, HDR, colour profiles, and brightness to name a few. BetterDisplay is here to condense all of those options into an easy-to-use menu bar interface.
Add individual customisation option for each connected display, virtual displays and picture in picture to the mix, and this seemingly innocuous app stands out as a powerful yet approachable way to manage your displays. Join Darcy as he walks you through BetterDisplay's configuration options and features in this short video.
BetterDisplay requires macOS 12 or newer.
You can buy a Pro license to unlock all features for a one-time price of $18 or 18 euros.

Looks like a great app! I'm not clear on how you control brightness and sound for a second monitor. Changing from the keyboard adjusts my Mac built-in display and sound.
Hey Jim, sorry for the late reply. Not too sure how to resolve this one for your setup. It should adjust for the display where the cursor is present (to my understanding. In the settings check that you have DDC enabled specifically for that external display. Then select DDC Features > Detect DDC Capabilities. After this check you'll get a readout of what's supported.
