The WmiMonitorID WMI class represents the identifying information about a video monitor, such as manufacturer name, year of manufacture, or serial number. The data in this class correspond to data in the Vendor/Product Identification block of Video Input Definition of the Video Electronics Standard Association (VESA) Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data (E-EDID) standard.
I've worked with OCS and GLPI and they can gell you what monitor(s) are attached to each computer and their serial numbers so I would think System Center should be able to do this. I was looking in v_GS_DESKTOP_MONITOR, but it doesn't contain serial numbers.
