Try greping through the output of xprop.  It should show you the 
maximized state of your window.  That would also work even on screens of 
different sizes/resolutions.

e.g.
_NET_WM_STATE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT

You can run xprop on a window id which you can grep out of the wmctrl -l 
output.  I love grep.
