I would have a single tab, with a window showing the montor(s) and the
settings below that, ala the monitor tab in Windows.

One other thing that I would keep from the Window dialog is the
ability to display a big "1" and "2" on the monitors, to make it clear
which is which.

And before you all jump me, I am not suggesting we keep the entire
windows dialog, merely those bits.
