I am trying to capture the following displays information connected to my laptop programatically using powershell but I am unable to find a way. This information can be found via the windows GUI at Settings > Display > Advanced Display Information (2 screenshots attached below).
Here's the information I am trying to capture
Display Name: (In this case, display name for internal would be but the external one would be "ASUS VP 228)
Display Resolution: 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 for the 2 displays
Whether it's an internal/external display: True and False
Refresh rate: 60Hz and 60Hz
Here's what I've tried
Get-WmiObject win32_videocontroller
Returns the resolution under parameter VideoModeDescription but even then, it seems to return the value of "Active Signal Resolution" (from the screenshot) below).
Get-WmiObject Win32_Desktopmonitor
DeviceID : DesktopMonitor1
DisplayType :
MonitorManufacturer : (Standard monitor types)
Name : Generic PnP Monitor
ScreenHeight :
ScreenWidth :
Only get output information for 1 out of the 2 monitors and don't get ScreenHeight or ScreenWidth` values.
get-ciminstance -namespace root\wmi -classname wmimonitorbasicdisplayparams

MaxHorizontalImageSize : 48
MaxVerticalImageSize : 27

PSComputerName
Gives me the correct monitor count but doesn't give me any other information.
I then tried using the DumpEDID tool and it gave me more information but didn't give me current monitor resolution or whether it's an internal display or not.

The script here gives me almost what I want except it doesn't give me the monitor name nor does it give me information whether it's internal or not.
I have attached 2 screenshots from the Settings > Display > Advanced Display page which is the information I am looking to capture.
