CIM_VideoControllerResolution class
The CIM_VideoControllerResolution class represents the various video modes that a video controller can support. Video modes are defined by the possible horizontal and vertical resolutions, refresh rate, scan mode, and number of color settings supported by a controller. The actual resolutions in use are the values specified in the CIM_VideoController object.
Hardware that is not compatible with Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) returns inaccurate property values for instances of this class.
Important
The DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) CIM (Common Information Model) classes are the parent classes upon which WMI classes are built. WMI currently supports only the CIM 2.x version schemas.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of its inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Remarks
WMI implements the CIM_VideoControllerResolution class. The CIM_VideoControllerResolution class is a dynamic class.
This documentation is derived from the CIM class descriptions published by the DMTF. Microsoft may have made changes to correct minor errors, conform to Microsoft SDK documentation standards, or provide more information.
Note that this class is a base class. If you are attempting to access your video controller through WMI, you may wish to use Win32_VideoController instead.
