In my previous reply, I was being stupid (probably from working on V11 too hard); V11 will give you both the number of pixels and the size in millimeters of the display, so the aspect ratio of the pixels is implicit in the ratio of these two numbers. You are out of luck in V10 except by looking at the vendor information and inferring it that way. -Jim
