Given an NSScreen, how can I get the device name, e.g. "Cinema HD Display"?

There is no key for this in [NSScreen deviceDescription]


System Profiler is doing this somehow.  My guess is with I/O kit.

CGDisplayModelNumber returns the "product ID" of the monitor (integer value). That API takes a CGDirectDisplayID which you can get out of your screen's dictionary.

How to then translate the product ID to a string is beyond me.
