I had a go at solving the issue with a native plugin: https://github.com/highlyinteractive/UnityDisplayInfo
It's Mac only at the moment, but I'll try to add a PC version soon

Still an issue in Unity 2020.1.2f1
It would be so useful to at least return the number of system displays in the editor.

Display.displays.Count() also fails. Running a 1080TI graphics card and displaying on three 70" televisions.
Function always returns 1.
Laptop with an external monitor returns 2.

Resolution Note:
This behavior is currently by design, The editor does not have multiple display support.
In the Editor we do not use Displays but GameViews to render. Unfortunately, using GameViews to emulate Displays carries several issues.
Multiple GameViews can be used for a single Display Id and can all have different aspect ratios and resolutions.
To support this requires a refactor of the current Display system and is considered a feature request.
