E.g.,

$ xdpyinfo | grep dim
  dimensions:    1600x1200 pixels (473x350 millimeters)
$ xdpyinfo | grep depths
  depths (7):    16, 1, 4, 8, 15, 24, 32
# note: the first one listed is the active depth
$ xdpyinfo | grep -A3 screen
default screen number:    0
number of screens:    1

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1600x1200 pixels (473x350 millimeters)
  resolution:    86x87 dots per inch
  depths (7):    16, 1, 4, 8, 15, 24, 32
