    Hello, I am using Unity Multi-display system (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/MultiDisplay.html).
    For some reasons new monitors could be connected to the system during program execution, and unfortunately Display.displays array is not updated in such situations.
    So, is there any opportunity to detect new screen during execution, or the only one way is to restart the app ?
