How do I get the actual Monitor name? as seen in the resolution dialog

Question

I am trying to grab the friendly name for the monitors on my system. I am using C#.

I have tried Screen, which just gives me //./DisplayXX.

This information is almost certainly obtained through the SetupAPI family of functions. I don't recall the specifics off the top of my head, but you will need to get all monitor devices (GUID_DEVINTERFACE_MONITOR) and obtain their friendly names (SPDRP_FRIENDLYNAME).
