Hi,
nice work since it's suitable also for Sierra!
I would also be interested in how to use this for another monitor (I have an Asus VX279Q).
Also is there an explanation how these overrides work and why there is an executable I only have to copy paste and not execute?
And how would I revert the change?
Regards,
Matt
