There is a thread on TechNet that covers this topic. You may want to read it in detail...

my advice is that is may not be a good idea to set the screen resolution using a GPO unless every computer had the same graphics card and monitor. Think about a situation where the screen resolution you are applying is not supported by one or more of your endpoints. This could cause more desktop support issues than its worth.

You should most definately start with a pilot group of users, best on a test network, but you can do this in production by creating a new OU and moving those target objects to that OU.
