Does anyone have a way to report on the monitor size in Casper, whether that
be the built-in monitor or an attached (or both). Resolution from System
Profiler only tells me the current set resolution, not max resolution. At
least with max, you can guesstimate better, but I'm looking for a way to get
the true information.

I'm wondering if there is a way to parse System Profiler information...

Here you go

$ system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep Resolution Resolution: 1440 x 900

Enjoy!

Even getting better information on the model would be helpful, so for
example, an iMac should tell you if it's a 17, 20 or 24.
