NSScreen — Mac OS X 10.0

Synopsis

This class represents a user’s monitor, and allows clients to ascertain properties of the display such as width and height in pixels, or color bit-depth. This class works only in the presence of an instance of NSApplication; NSScreen requires that an application have a connection to the window server to obtain information about the screen, which is provided by NSApplication.
