If you "extend" your monitor, then you can use the window position to check.
I extend mine above my existing monitor (instead of beside it).
These functions report negative values for me when I move it to the
extended monitor.
getwinposx() < 0
getwinposy() < 0
You can simply check for a range of values.
I also wrote a mapping to toggle my Vim session back and forth between the
monitors (if this helps):
if has("gui_running")
" Reposition gvim when using the windows extended monitor
" Top and bottom
" Use negative values if screen is above main desktop.
" Basically, position Vim and look at this output:
" echo getwinposx() getwinposy()
" nnoremap <Leader>fx :exec 'winpos '.(getwinposx()<0 ? '15' : '-15').'
'.(getwinposy()<0 ? '17' : '-1183')<CR>
nnoremap <Leader>fx <C-O>:exec 'winpos '.(getwinposx()<0 ? '15' :
'15').' '.(getwinposy()<0 ? '40' : '-1192')<CR>
" This version will change the font size (since the monitor is bigger)
and move the screen.
" Had to record the X and Y positions since set guifont= will cause the
screen to move under certain cirumstances.
nnoremap <Leader>fx :let winx = getwinposx()\|let winy =
getwinposy()\|exec 'set guifont=Bitstream_Vera_Sans_Mono:h'.(winy<0 ? '11'
: '11').':b:cANSI'\|echomsg 'executing winpos '.(winx<0 ? '15' : '15').'
'.(winy<0 ? '40' : '-1192')\|exec 'winpos '.(winx<0 ? '15' : '15').'
'.(winy<0 ? '40' : '-1192')<CR>
" Move Vim left and right (assuming screen configuration)
" nnoremap <Leader>fx :exec 'winpos '.(getwinposx()<1900 ? '2055' :
'276').' 14'<CR>
" nnoremap <Leader>fx <C-O>:exec 'winpos '.(getwinposx()<1900 ? '2055'
: '276').' 14'<CR>
endif
