    Description

      The documentation for QScreen::name states that "This property holds a user presentable string representing the screen" 

      This property returns "\\.\DISPLAY1" on Windows 7. Not particularly presentable.

      This has been reported several times against the Windows api that Qt uses, so there are a few examples of how this can be 'fixed'. One such example is: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/cede9420-bc64-45e9-867c-f15920fb2c98/c-enumerate-monitor-name-get-same-name-used-in-control-panel-gt-screen-resolution?forum=csharpgeneral
