Inspect connected monitors

This pattern is useful before changing display layout, brightness, or window placement.

It is adapted from Examples/GetDesktopMonitors.ps1.

Example

Import-Module DesktopManager

$allMonitors = Get-DesktopMonitor
$allMonitors | Format-Table

$connected = Get-DesktopMonitor -ConnectedOnly
$connected | Format-Table

$primary = Get-DesktopMonitor -PrimaryOnly
$primary | Format-List *

What this demonstrates

• reading monitor state before making changes
• narrowing to connected or primary monitors
• reviewing monitor details in table or list form
