Hi all,

I need your help on this. I need to automatically obtain information about
the monitor both on Linux and Windows. So I chose to program in Java.
Basically, I need the physical dimension of the monitor and its gamma value
and all other valuable information about the monitor which is stored
somewhere by the monitor manufactorer.

For example, can I get the diagonal viewable size of the monitor using Java?
(say 20.1" LCD, etc.)

How to do that?

thank you so much,

-Lucy
