Have a look at what you get in the Attribute Editor when you select the
“defaultRenderGlobals” node. It’ll give you some hints as to what is going
on. By the looks of it, resolution is hooked up to “defaultResolution”
which is another node. You can change the attributes from there.
If you aren’t familiar with selecting nodes by name,
1. try the little box to the top of the GUI, it’ll have a little fly-out
menu to allow you to “Select by name”.
2. Otherwise, they will all be available via the Outliner and can be
filtered from there too, if you untick “Show DAG Objects only”,
3. and thirdly there is cmds.select('defaultRenderGlobals').
Hope it helps!
