PROS
- Display mirroring feature
- Powerful support for multiple monitor configuration profiles
- Support for using UltraMon features in script
- Simple, easy-to-use UI
- Great support for hotkeys
CONS
- Secondary taskbar features are very limited
Summary
UltraMon is a great application which favours those who know scripting. Its interface is simple yet powerful. Of particular note are its display profiles feature that will make it an excellent choice for those with changing display configurations, and its mirroring feature. Where it does lack is in its weak secondary taskbar that provides few features.

UltraMon is a software by Realtime Soft that is designed to simplify working on multiple monitor systems.
UltraMon isn't a single application, but rather a small collection of tools that provide different aspects of UltraMon's functionality. UltraMon is modular, and you are presented with the option to install only those features that you will be using.
The four aspects of UltraMon's functionality are:
- Smart Taskbar
- Wallpaper Manager
- Screen Saver Manager
- Mirroring
Some of these features such as a dual monitor taskbar, screen-saver manager, and wallpaper manager can be found in DisplayFusion and Actual Multiple Monitors, which we reviewed previously, as well.
Smart Taskbar
On installing UltraMon immediately starts displaying a secondary taskbar on each monitor. UltraMon's multi-monitor taskbar has just the bare functionality needed to manage applications on multiple monitors. There is no grouping of icons, no Windows 7 features ‒ although the taskbar does copy the basic appearance ‒ no clock etc.
UltraMon supports two modes for the secondary taskbar. A standard mode in which only the applications that are there on a particular monitor are shown in its taskbar, and a Mirror mode in which both taskbars display all icons.
Unlike DisplayFusion and Actual Multiple Monitors, UltraMon allows you to disable the taskbar for a particular monitor. So if you have a triple-monitor setup, you can have the taskbar display on any two monitors instead of all three.
