Command to change screen resolution
« on: October 22, 2019, 09:51:34 PM »
I wanted commands to change my screen to 1080p and 4k, and I figured I should share what I found to potentially save others some time

First you have to download an app called QRes. I got it from here.
I recommend saving it somewhere where it won't get accidentally deleted.

Then create a new command
Click on Other->Windows -> run application
For the path use "[folder]\QRes.exe" where [folder] is the full path to where you saved QRes.

If you were going to set the resolution to 1090p you would put "/x:1920 y/1080" in "with these parameters"
Alternatively, you could set text variables "width" and "height", then put "/x:{TXT:width} /y:{TXT:height}" in.
Or you could set integer variables to "width" and "height", then put "/x:{INT:width} /y:{INT:height}" in.

That link is broken (the markup is incorrect, and the intended target uses a temporary unique download ID which has expired).
This appears to be the official page for QRes, which also contains a link to the download on sourceforge.


As an aside, if you already have NirCmd, it should also be able to change screen resolution using the "setdisplay" option.

Thanks for pointing out my mistake! I should have checked the link first. I updated it now to the one you gave.
And thanks for showing NirCmd, I'll check that out since it has more features!
