Setting screen resolution during Win 7 OSD

you can use Display Changer

Thank you.

Unfortunately this tool doesn't set the "recommended" value which is shown in Windows 7 display settings.

We have to set up 500 PCs with different monitors/resolutions. The tool/script has to find out itself (possibly via WMI), what the recommended display settings for the attached monitor are.

Any idea?

use Display Switch Platinum which runs in the
system tray and allows users (who have no access to display
properties) the ability to easily switch resolutions. Beware though
that sometimes they can set it out of the monitors range and then the
"last known good profile" is needed.

Thanks, M3rc74.

We would like to set the display settings automatically, without any user interaction.

Windows recognizes possible resolution settings. If I attach a 1280x1024-Monitor, the upper value of resolution settings shows up as "1280x1024 (recommended)", if I attach a 1680x1050-Monitor the upper value is "1680x1024 (recommended)". So I always just have to pull the slider to the upper value. I would like to spare our users the hassle.

That's why I'm looking for a tool, which sets the upper (recommended) value automatically, depending on the attached monitor.

Any idea?

You mentioned nircmd.

We could use something like "nircmd.exe setdisplay 800 600 24" but we don't know the attached monitor in advance.

Something like "nircmd.exe setdisplay maxres" would be nict. Unfortunately, such a command doesn't exist.
