Change display resolution via terminal

Hello there! I am trying to change the display resolution (between those options) via terminal.

Anyone knows how it can be done?

Ive tried some stuff but couldn't do it, I tried also to see com.apple.windowserver.displays

if I can modify it but its not that straight forward.

Thanks a lot!

In macOS 13 (Ventura), how do you select a specific screen resolution now? The Displays settings panel was redesigned to show "Larger Text" to "More Space" options in a previous macOS release but you could still hold down the option key, select "Scaled Resolutions" (or whatever it was labelled) and get to see and select from available resolutions (1920x1080, etc.) I don't see how to do that now with Ventura macOS 13. And it's a problem because the provided options ("larger text" to "more space") don't let you get to the native resolution for some displays, like mine: an LG ultrawide display whose native resolution is 3840x1600. So how do I select that resolution now with Ventura (or any other specific resolution)?

iMac screen resolution Greetings, Is there a way to "fine tune" the screen resolution on my iMac 27inch 2020 Ventura 13.3.1? my only choices seem to be Larger text, Default and More Space with one increment in-between each. Much like Goldilocks, one is too big and the next is too small. Thank you in advance David
