I imagine this somewhat like an eye exam.

Can you see this image? (pause)
Does this look good? (pause)
Does this look better, or worse? (pause)

It would do corner-testing to find the highest resolution, best
refresh rates etc.  Then it would have some choices to help the person
choose their most comfortable resolution.

But I guess this is only for when the setup can't autodetect the card
and display in the first place or doesn't have drivers.

It might be just as fast to have some kind of central server which can
report/fetch this information to make it hands-free after the first
few or first developer-reproduced case.
