### Class

# GdkMonitor

#### Description [src]

    final class Gdk.Monitor : GObject.Object
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`GdkMonitor` objects represent the individual outputs that are associated with a `GdkDisplay`.

`GdkDisplay` keeps a `GListModel` to enumerate and monitor monitors with `gdk_display_get_monitors()`. You can use `gdk_display_get_monitor_at_surface()` to find a particular monitor.
