Screen object returns the device path, resolution, etc. But it does not return the friendly name of a display monitor.
Need the real display name such as displayed in the control panel, not that generic junk that is displayed in the device manager. There are a couple of C and C# examples, but none of them seem to convert over the vb .net without various issues, usually because the code is very old to begin with. What few VB examples exist are very old and fail to work in vb.net.
What would be great is to go from... \\.\DISPLAY4 which the screen object can return to the friendly name, i.e. "Dell U1703" for example.
Been searching for hours for something that actually works, really surprised that no one has documented a vb.net example that is current and functional.
