| GetMonitorBrightness | Retrieves a monitor's minimum, maximum, and current brightness settings. |
| GetMonitorCapabilities | Retrieves the configuration capabilities of a monitor. |
| GetMonitorColorTemperature | Retrieves a monitor's current color temperature. |
| GetMonitorContrast | Retrieves a monitor's minimum, maximum, and current contrast settings. |
| GetMonitorDisplayAreaPosition | Retrieves a monitor's minimum, maximum, and current horizontal or vertical position. |
| GetMonitorDisplayAreaSize | Retrieves a monitor's minimum, maximum, and current width or height. |
| GetMonitorRedGreenOrBlueDrive | Retrieves a monitor's red, green, or blue drive value. |
