Win32_DisplayConfiguration class
[The Win32_DisplayConfiguration WMI class is no longer available for use as of Windows Server 2008. Instead, use the properties in the Win32_VideoController, Win32_DesktopMonitor, and CIM_VideoControllerResolution classes.]
Windows Server 2003:
The Win32_DisplayConfiguration WMI class represents configuration information for the display device on a computer running on a Windows operating system.
Hardware that is not compatible with Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) returns inaccurate property values for instances of this class.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

- Properties
Properties
The Win32_DisplayConfiguration class has these properties.
BitsPerPel
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Device Context Functions|GetDeviceCaps|BITSPIXEL")
Number of bits used to represent the color in this configuration (bits per pixel).
Example: 8
Caption
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Short description of the CIM_Setting object. This property is inherited from CIM_Setting.
Description
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Description of the CIM_Setting object. This property is inherited from CIM_Setting.
DeviceName
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, key, MaxLen (260) , MappingStrings ("WMI")
Name of the display device.
DisplayFlags
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Printing and Print Spooler Structures|DEVMODE|dmDisplayFlags ")
If TRUE, the display device is color (versus monochrome), and noninterlaced (versus interlaced), by masking its value with the DM_GRAYSCALE and DM_INTERLACED masks respectively.
DisplayFrequency
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Device Context Functions|GetDeviceCaps|VREFRESH") , Units ("hertz")
The vertical refresh rate for the display. The refresh rate for a monitor is the number of times the screen is redrawn per second (frequency).
DitherType
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Printing and Print Spooler Structures|DEVMODE|dmDitherType")
Dither type of the display. This property can assume predefined values of 1 to 5, or driver-defined values from 6 to 256. Line art dithering is a special dithering method that produces well-defined borders between black, white, and gray scalings. It is not suitable for images that include continuous graduations in intensity and hue (such as scanned photographs).
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| No Dithering 1 | |
| Coarse Brush 2 | |
| Fine Brush 3 | |
| Line Art 4 | |
| Greyscale 5 | Grayscale |
DriverVersion
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32Registry|System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Class|Ver")
Release version of the display driver.
ICMIntent
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Printing and Print Spooler Structures|DEVMODE|dmICMIntent")
Value of one of the three possible color matching methods (intents) that should be used by default. This property is used primarily for non-ICM applications. ICM applications establish intents by using the ICM functions. This property can assume predefined values of 1 to 3, or driver-defined values from 4 to 256.
Saturation (1)
Contrast (2)
Exact Color (3)
ICMMethod
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Printing and Print Spooler Structures|DEVMODE|dmICMMethod ")
How ICM is handled. For a non-ICM application, this property indicates if ICM is enabled or disabled. For ICM applications, the system examines this property to determine which part of the computer system handles ICM support.
Disabled (1)
Windows (2)
Device Driver (3)
Device (4)
LogPixels
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Printing and Print Spooler Structures|DEVMODE|dmLogPixels") , Units ("pixels")
Number of pixels per logical inch. This property is valid only with devices that work with pixels (this excludes devices such as printers).
PelsHeight
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Printing and Print Spooler Structures|DEVMODE|dmPelsHeight ") , Units ("pixels")
Height of the displayable surface.
PelsWidth
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Printing and Print Spooler Structures|DEVMODE|dmPelsWidth ") , Units ("pixels")
Width of the displayable surface.
SettingID
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: MaxLen (256)
Identifier by which the CIM_Setting object is known. This property is inherited from CIM_Setting.
SpecificationVersion
Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DEPRECATED, MappingStrings ("Win32API|Printing and Print Spooler Structures|DEVMODE|dmSpecVersion")
Version number of the initialization data for the Windows display device.
Remarks
The Win32_DisplayConfiguration class is derived from CIM_Setting.
