Get Screen resolution using WMI/powershell in Windows 7

Question

I am using the following script to get screen resolution in Windows using WMI. The script works fine when the computer is in landscape mode but returns incorrect values when

Answer 1

Here's an answer based on Shays only it formats the results for each screen as per the OPs' example.

PowerShell Code to format the results of: [System.Windows.Forms.Screen]::AllScreens

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$screen_cnt  = [System.Windows.Forms.Screen]::AllScreens.Count
$col_screens = [system.windows.forms.screen]::AllScreens

$info_screens = ($col_screens | ForEach-Object {
if ("$($_.Primary)" -eq "True") {$monitor_type = "Primary Monitor    "} else {$monitor_type = "Secondary Monitor  "}
if ("$($_.Bounds.Width)" -gt "$($_.Bounds.Height)") {$monitor_orientation = "Landscape"} else {$monitor_orientation = "Portrait"}
$monitor_type + "(Bounds)                          " + "$($_.Bounds)"
$monitor_type + "(Primary)                         " + "$($_.Primary)"
$monitor_type + "(Device Name)                     " + "$($_.DeviceName)"
$monitor_type + "(Bounds Width x Bounds Height)    " + "$($_.Bounds.Width) x $($_.Bounds.Height) ($monitor_orientation)"
$monitor_type + "(Bits Per Pixel)                  " + "$($_.BitsPerPixel)"
$monitor_type + "(Working Area)                    " + "$($_.WorkingArea)"
}
)

Write-Host "TOTAL SCREEN COUNT: $screen_cnt"
$info_screens

Output for the secondary monitor in landscape mode. 1920 x 1200

# TOTAL SCREEN COUNT: 2

# Secondary Monitor  (Working Area)                    {X=2560,Y=0,Width=1920,Height=1160}

Output for the secondary monitor in portrait mode. 1200 x 1920
