Monitor Display Classes

  • Article

WMI Monitor Display classes contain data supplied by the WDM Provider that provide data about display monitors. The classes are defined in Wmi.mof and are located in the "root\wmi" namespace.

The majority of monitor display data classes inherit from MSMonitorClass. The remaining classes are used by the primary monitor classes to provide various kinds of descriptive data. For example, the XYZinCIE class defines display coordinates.
