PowerShell get screen resolution



Check screen resolution of the monitor using PowerShell.

Get-WmiObject -Query "Select * from Win32_desktopmonitor" -Namespace 'Root\CIMV2' | select name, screenheight, screenwidth

Sample output:

name                screenheight screenwidth
----                ------------ -----------
Default Monitor                             
Generic PnP Monitor 1080         1920  


To check remote PCs, use the code below, of course proper credentials is required.

Invoke-Command -ComputerName 192.168.1.20 -ScriptBlock { Get-WmiObject -Query "Select * from Win32_desktopmonitor" -Namespace 'Root\CIMV2' | select name, screenheight, screenwidth }

Some application requires or either work properly when a particular screen resolution is properly set or configured.

To get more details like video processor, driver version and driver date use the code below. Updating drivers is quite important as it will improve device performance and other update features.
Get-WmiObject -Query "Select caption,driverdate,driverversion,videoprocessor from Win32_videocontroller" -Namespace 'Root\CIMV2' | Select caption,driverdate,driverversion,videoprocessor| ft -wrap 



Cheers..till next time. :)

    Typically, a PnP device starts operating as soon as you insert it into your system and does exactly what it is designed to do. However, occasionally Windows 10 won't detect the hardware or device and won't install the driver for it. When a driver is incompatible with PnP hardware, the system will not be able to load the hardware monitor driver. You can experience some display problems if Device Manager lists your monitor as a Generic PnP Monitor. The quick and simple solutions to these issues will be known here.generic pnp monitor

    Any reason this only lists 2 of three monitors on a Win10 system with two video cards?

      If you try this: gwmi win32_desktopmonitor, all 3 monitors are displayed? If only 2, then I guess the monitor can't be detected. Maybe a driver is missing.

WMIC get computer name

If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task. Here’s the code below on how get computer model, manufacturer and the username.
