You shouldn't get empty lists under OS X.

The physical monitor device is represented by MonitorDevice, its modes are represented by MonitorMode (it's a bit any equivalent of DisplayMode in AWT). Display is the graphical display, I think that the term "display" is used here with the typical Unix / Linux meaning. The virtual monitor is represented by Screen, such a Screen may use several physical monitors and then several instances of MonitorDevice.
