# Display Settings

Each Display has settings which can be configured individually. Settings can vary depending on the platform/media player type, using Display Setting Profiles you can easily apply different settings to Displays of the same platform or type.

Once connected to the CMS, each Display is assigned a default Display Profile to apply settings to Displays of the corresponding type.

Profiles can be customised or new ones added to suit Display requirements. For ease use the row menu and Copy an existing Profile to quickly create new Profiles with the required settings.

Use Display Profiles to provide your Licence Pool Code to all of your Displays centrally for easier licensing which is less prone to error than entering codes manually per device.

Create Display Profiles to cater for Landscape and Portrait orientations or to apply different operating hours or a Display Profile for devices that require multiple decoders enabled for example.

If individual Displays require different settings from those set in a Display Profile, override settings by editing the Display from the Displays grid.
