you can via WMI get the monitors. Some at my current client said a tool he had previously used did this.  I may have to look at adding (powershell / WMI)

a Get-WmiObject win32_SystemEnclosure may work

At home my laptop is docked and that shows me an SMBIOSAssetTag, on another that is not I have "No Asset Information"

Other have suggested looking at the win32_PNPEntity and a filter, but you would need to know the entities which is a nightmare
