Download Setres : ScreenResolution

It’s a very old tool, so be careful how you use it.

SETRES mX:Y hXXXX vXXXX bXX fXX n d

 mX:Y = Monitor number Y attached to adapter number X
        See 'd' argument below.
hXXXX = Horizontal size of display in pixels
vXXXX = Vertical size
  bXX = Bit depth (controls maximum available colours)
        e.g. 8 bits = 256 colours. Other options = 16, 24, 32 bits
  fXX = Refresh frequency in Hertz, e.g. 60, 75, 85
        Check your monitor's manual for available settings
    n = No 'Press a key' wait after error report
    d = Display device list. Use numbers for mX:Y

All parameters optional. Default values taken from current state of
specified monitor. If no mX:Y then primary display is default.
