We can find out desktop resolution of a computer from command prompt using wmic command. The below command prints desktop resolution for all the available monitors on the system.
wmic desktopmonitor get screenheight, screenwidth
Ex:
C:\>wmic desktopmonitor get screenheight, screenwidth ScreenHeight ScreenWidth 900 1440 900 1440 c:\>
The above output shows that there are two monitors connected to the computer, each having the resolution 900×1440.
The below is the output on another system connected to two displays having different resolutions.
c:\>wmic desktopmonitor get screenheight, screenwidth ScreenHeight ScreenWidth 900 1600 1080 1920

I need to set my display resolution to 1024 x 768 . How do I do this in a straightforward manner?
Hey. I recently got a computer (Dell Inspiron with 15.6" HD display) and I have it hooked up to a small tv, (Emerson 32" -I think.) But I'm not able to find a command prompt to fit the resolution. I'm trying to learn this, but it's not very easy to find books on coding and such.
