You could use the following queries in the root\WMI namespace:
SELECT UserFriendlyName FROM WmiMonitorID
SELECT SerialNumberID FROM WmiMonitorID
However those are byte arrays and will be displayed as [XX, XX, XX, XX, ...].

For human-readable format use the following VB script under Options - Remote Scripting. It will extract the byte arrays for model name and serial number and convert them to ASCII strings:
'Input parameters
strComputer = Input.Current

'Get monitors with WMI
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
  & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\WMI")
Set colMonitors = objWMIService. _
  ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM WmiMonitorID")
For Each objMonitor in colMonitors
  'Convert serial number to ASCII
  SerialNo = ""
  For I = 0 To Ubound(objMonitor.SerialNumberID)
    SerialNo = SerialNo & Chr(objMonitor.SerialNumberID(I))
  Next
  'Convert model name to ASCII
  ProductId = ""
  For I = 0 To Ubound(objMonitor.UserFriendlyName)
    ProductId = ProductId & Chr(objMonitor.UserFriendlyName(I))
  Next
  Output.Write ProductId & " " & SerialNo
Next

Choose Options - Remote Scripting - New and copy and paste the above script.

Give the new entry a name and make sure it's ticked in the list of scripts.

After that, there will be a new column with that name, with the script output.
