On Windows, one must read the monitor's EDID data as stored in the registry,
no 'simple' API works otherwise.
The proper way requires utilizing the Windows Setup-API.
This code is inspired by Ofek Shilon's code and blog post:
<http://ofekshilon.com/2014/06/19/reading-specific-monitor-dimensions/>
See: function 'NewtEDID_GetMonitorSizeFromEDIDByModelName'
In contrast to Ofek's code, function 'NewtEDID_GetMonitorSizeFromEDIDByDevice'
uses the proper link from
DISPLAY_DEVICE.DeviceID -> SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DETAIL_DATA.DevicePath,
where DISPLAY_DEVICE.DeviceID is the monitor's enumeration via:
EnumDisplayDevices(adapterName, monitor_idx, &ddMon, EDD_GET_DEVICE_INTERFACE_NAME);
Hence the path to the registry-entry is well determined instead of just comparing
the monitor's model name.
