I have the last four functions documented but not the first > (variable?) in w32 24.3. I have put: display-monitor-attributes-list (I think it's a function) is a very recent feature from the very last emacs versions (in my emacs 24.3.1 is not present). > Btw, what is this first string in the documentation of the variable: > (":0.0" . (287 . 215))? display is in the form HOST:SERVER.SCREEN. I think it only makes sense if you are using an Xserver in a unix-like OS. In Win32 with a single screen specifying t instead of ":0.0" should be enough (but emacs compiled for Cygwin in Windows would be using an Xserver). M-: (x-display-list) should give you a list of the displays available. You can have a look at the emacs manual M-: (info "(elisp) Multiple Terminals")
