Please consider adding your votes to this excellent suggestion from Ben 
Rubinstein:

<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=193>

 From that BZ entry:

    My suggestion is that "the screenrect" behave as now
    for compatibility; and a new variant "the detailed
    screenrect" be introduced which returns one or more
    rectangles, one per line, being the coordinates of
    all current monitors, first line corresponding to
    the main monitor.

    While we're at it, my suggestion is that "the detailed
    screenrect" should also calculate its answer on the
    fly, rather than relying on the state of the monitor
    at startup.  I believe this too is now an issue on
    Windows, as it certainly is on Mac.
