Tell me my screen resolution!

Question

Output the device's screen resolution in the specific format of [width]x[height] where [width] is replaced by the horizontal number of pixels and [height] is replaced by the vertical number of pixels. For example, an output could read 1440x900. Should there be multiple screens, report about the primary screen. You may not change the resolution as part of your inquiry.

Here is a non‑golfed ECMAScript code snippet achieving this task (unless privacy settings kick in).

console.log(window.screen.width + 'x' + window.screen.height)

Answer 1

Red, 26 Bytes

system/view/screens/1/size

Outputs for example:

1920x1080

The code is pretty self explanatory. The 1 refers to the first screen

Answer 2

Bash + xdotool + tr, 35 bytes

-1 thanks to @manatwork

xdotool getdisplaygeometry|tr \  x

There are two spaces after the \

Gets geometry, then uses tr to replace spaces with x

console.log((k=screen).width+'x'+k.height)

Python 2, 52 51 bytes

from PIL.ImageGrab import*;print'%dx%d'%grab().size

Saved 2 bytes by executing in Python 2

Saved 1 byte by changing import

I can't golf....

@for /f %%# in ('"@wmic path Win32_VideoController get CurrentHorizontalResolution,CurrentVerticalResolution /format:value"')do @set %%#>nul
@echo %CurrentHorizontalResolution%x%CurrentVerticalResolution%

@for /f "tokens=1,2delims=x " %%A in ('wmic path Win32_VideoController get VideoModeDescription^|find "l"')do @echo %%Ax%%B

Basically the same thing as SteveFest's answer, except I grab a slightly shorter chunk of Wim32_VideoController and then I use something vaguely resembling regex to get the one line that contains the data that I want.

I have no idea why the wmic string needs to be inside of double quotes to work I needed the quotes so that I didn't need to escape the pipe, but ^ is shorter than "", and I can't believe that I can't shorten the wmic command at all.

How It Works

Ordinarily, wmic path Win32_VideoController get VideoModeDescription will display something like this:

VideoModeDescription
3440 x 1440 x 4294967296 colors
 

I can use findstr's super rudimentary attempt at regex find to find the letter "l," which only matches the line with the word "colors." From there, that line is delimited on spaces and the letter "x." %%A contains the first token and %%B contains the second token. After that, I just display the values.

PHP + GTK 2.0, 69 bytes

This whole answer was written based on http://php-gtk.eu/en/code-hints/grabbing-a-screenshot-with-gdk

<?list($W,$H)=Gdk::get_default_root_window()->get_size();echo$W,x,$H;

Basically, fetches the "root" window (entire screen) and gets it's size.

---

Another way (based on http://www.kksou.com/php-gtk2/sample-codes/get-the-size-of-display-screen.php):

<?$w=(new GtkWindow())->get_screen();echo$w->get_width(),x,$w->get_height();

Gets the screen where the window was created, displaying it's dimentions.

Javascript, 46 bytes

var s=screen;console.log(s.width+'x'+s.height)

I wanted to write it in the comment but I don't have reputation yet. Can someone explain to me why other solutions don't count bytes for console.log()? If they were counted then this solution would be the shortest.

MATLAB, 42 byte

a=get(0,'ScreenS');fprintf('%dx%d',a(3:4))

Uses property shortening. Other than that, this is a nice showcase of the inflexibility of MATLAB indexing, requiring a temporary variable a. fprintf prints to stdout by default.

0 hw:displaysize? swap . "x" . .

Returns the device's screen resolution of the first display (0) in pixels in the required format.

Output:

1536x864

Answer 14

C#, 90 Bytes

()=>{var b=System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;return b.Width+"x"+b.Height;};

This actually is quite a similiar answer to that one, which already exists, however, I'd like to add a few things. This solution acutally needs a reference to System.Windows.Forms and one to System.Drawing. Those references are not normally added for a console application, so I'm not sure wether it's valid. Therefore I wrote a solution without references, however this has 580 287 Bytes:

using System;using System.Runtime.InteropServices;class P{static void Main()=>Console.Write(G().Item1+"x"+G().Item2);static(int,int)G()=>(GetSystemMetrics(0),GetSystemMetrics(1));[DllImport("User32.dll",ExactSpelling=true,CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]static extern int GetSystemMetrics(int n);}

Here's the solution with line breaks:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class P
{
    static void Main() => Console.Write(G().Item1 + "x" + G().Item2);
    static (int, int) G() => (GetSystemMetrics(0), GetSystemMetrics(1));

    [DllImport("User32.dll", ExactSpelling = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
    static extern int GetSystemMetrics(int n);
}

This solution was created with the huge help of AdamSchiavone on Stackoverflow.

I also wrote a C# Interactive programm with 123 Bytes, which automatically adds the references, so it can be executed on every machine without problems and without having the reference problems:

#r "System.Windows.Forms"
#r "System.Drawing"
var b=System.Windows.Forms.Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds;b.Width+"x"+b.Height

This basically is the same as the first one, but it adds the reference automatically and as it is executed in the interactive, you don't need the return statement, you can simply leave away the semicolon.

Bash, 21 bytes

tr , x</*/*/*/fb0/v*

If the device has frame buffer you can query /sys/class/graphics/fb0/virtual_size to get resolution. Width and Height are delimited by , so tr translates to x. Path to the file is shortened by using * to the point there are no ambiguities.
