Set display settings?

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's some way of setting the default display
settings for a particular type of display?

It would be a setting that I'd like to push out to all the machines.

So far I've only managed to set the default display settings on newly
imaged machines but not on machines already in production.

I did this by capturing the settings in
~/L/P/ByHosts/com.apple.windowserver.com and /L/P/com.apple.displayserver.com

Any ideas on how I could get it to work on machine already in production? I've tried to push it out to a test machine but it just goes onto defaults.

Hello:

We have a open-source Python library which can modify your Mac's display settings manually or automatically and can easily work using a Jamf Pro via a policy and scope. I believe this will completely meet your needs. Take a look at the following GitHub repository...

Display Manager

Let us know if you have any questions, problems or feature requests.

@makander Did you have any time to test it? If so, how did it work for you? Any feedback?
