Win32_DesktopMonitor class
The Win32_DesktopMonitor WMI class represents the type of monitor or display device attached to the computer system.
Hardware that is not compatible with Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) returns inaccurate property values for instances of this class.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.
