neofetch doesn't report the correct display resolution

Description

neofetch doesn't report the correct display resolution for my 5K iMac. The resolution reported should be 5120x2880 (Retina) instead of 2560x1440.

• [Y] Does this issue still occur in the master branch? (Required if issue)

Neofetch version

neofetch version 7.1.0

Wrong resolution in OSX as well:

For me at least (on an m1 running big sur), neofetch (the latest master version) reports the scaled resolution of 1440x900 (preferences > displays) instead of the actual screen resolution of 2560x1600 (about this mac > displays)

Edit: after digging into the code a bit, this appears to be a difference between using screenresolution and system_profiler to find the res, with screenresolution reporting the scaled resolution and system_profiler reporting the true resolution

This could maybe be fixed by using system_profiler as the default rather than screenresolution on lines 3007-3016

screenresolution is default as system_profiler was (in the past) deemed too slow. Is this still the case?

Here are the times that I recorded:

times including some of the processing from the code:

times for the full program (first is screenresolution , second is system_profiler):

Neofetch seems to be slow overall on macOS.

@Fr1tzBot Thank you ! I changed the code in neofetch to the following:

I now get the following result (which is cool!):

I couldn't get the refresh rate (Hz) though!

@dylanaraps Would be nice to have a flag to chose between screenresolution and system_profiler for those of us who aren't in a hurry!
