 The resolution is in the form:
+```
 nominal width, nominal height, pixel width, pixel height, frame rate
+```
 Keyboard Maestro lists the available resolutions for the specified display in the popup menu, and only those available resolutions can be used.
-stuff about missing parameters
+If there are entries missing, Keyboard Maestro will choose the best available resolution that has those parameters. So if you provide just a single number, it will choose the best DPI, highest frame rate resolution with that width.
-stuff about bad screen resolutions
+Note that despite the system providing the available resolutions, it is always possible one or more of them may not actually work, potentially stopping the display from working, so a wise idea is to create a version of this action with the current resolution selected (it's ticked in the popup menu, or available via the [[token:ScreenResolution|%ScreenResolution%]] token), and create a sequence like:
+* Set Screen Resolution to <test values>
+* Pause 5 seconds
+* Set Screen Resolution to <current working value>
