How do I get screen’s display mode information?

This example shows graphics devices display mode information such as the display width, height, refresh-rate and bit-depth. This information can be obtained from GraphicsDevice.getDisplayMode() method which return an instance of java.awt.DisplayMode.

We can also get the size of a screen using the following example How do I get my screen size?, but this example can handle only a single screen.

package org.kodejava.awt;

import java.awt.*;

public class GettingScreenDisplayModeInformation {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Get local graphics environment
        GraphicsEnvironment env = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();

        GraphicsDevice[] devices = env.getScreenDevices();

        int sequence = 1;
        for (GraphicsDevice device : devices) {
            System.out.println("Screen Number [" + (sequence++) + "]");
            System.out.println("Width       : " + device.getDisplayMode().getWidth());
            System.out.println("Height      : " + device.getDisplayMode().getHeight());
            System.out.println("Refresh Rate: " + device.getDisplayMode().getRefreshRate());
            System.out.println("Bit Depth   : " + device.getDisplayMode().getBitDepth());
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}

An example of the program result:

Screen Number [1]
Width       : 2560
Height      : 1080
Refresh Rate: 60
Bit Depth   : 32

Screen Number [2]
Width       : 2560
Height      : 1080
Refresh Rate: 60
Bit Depth   : 32
