Powershell / Get Monitor info
<#
# ORIGINAL FROM : https://github.com/MaxAnderson95/Get-Monitor-Information/blob/master/Get-Monitor.ps1
.SYNOPSIS
This powershell function gets information about the monitors attached to any computer. It uses EDID information provided by WMI. If this value is not specified it pulls the monitors of the computer that the script is being run on.
.DESCRIPTION
The function begins by looping through each computer specified. For each computer it gets a litst of monitors.
It then gets all of the necessary data from each monitor object and converts and cleans the data and places it in a custom PSObject. It then adds
the data to an array. At the end the array is displayed.
.PARAMETER ComputerName
Use this to specify the computer(s) which you'd like to retrieve information about monitors from.
