Is it possible to get resolution information of a laptops built in display that is not in use? (i.e. laptop is docked using external monitors only) I have tried using Get-WmiObject etc but it only returns active displays. Does WMI only have info on monitors that are currently connected and turned on?

  • The suggested duplicate solution only returns active displays. – Andy Ojari Mar 20 '19 at 09:44
  • Then what do you mean by built in display that is not in use ? Please edit your question by adding the output of `Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_DesktopMonitor`. – Fourat Mar 20 '19 at 09:55
  • I have edited my question as much as I can to try to make sense. The laptop is closed and plugged in to a dock so it is only using external monitors, the built in one is not on. I want to know if it is possible to extract any information about the resolutions that the built in monitor is capable of. I suspect the answer may be no. – Andy Ojari Mar 22 '19 at 12:26
  • Well you answered your question, if the monitor is off then the OS won't see it neither will Powershell. – Fourat Mar 22 '19 at 13:16
