gollark: *Why* do you want that, exactly?
gollark: ```lualocal monitor_names = {}for _, n in pairs(peripheral.getNames()) do if peripheral.getType(n) == "monitor" then table.insert(monitor_names, n) endend```
gollark: If you want the *names* for whatever reason, that is somewhat harder.
gollark: It has multiple returns, so do `{peripheral.find "monitor"}` if you want a table of all monitors.
gollark: `peripheral.find "monitor"`
