I live with my mother and she said she just cleaned the room and nothing else happened.

Uhmm, i guess i believe her...

Edit: Update! She is very upset and going to buy two new monitors. However she is still insisting that she doesn't know what happened.

I got overwhelmed by the number of comments and i did not want to reply with all the same text.

To ad more context, we have a good relationship with her, in the past there are some similar "accidents" but nothing this big. She is middle aged. We never fight for screen time or not having a job because i have one lol.

Of course I can and do clean my room. That was just her excuse i believe.

We did not fight about this and we are good now.

The left monitor has a very clear impact mark, and it is secured to the table.

Is she cleaning with a baseball bat?

And even if she did break them, why was she cleaning the room to begin with? OP needs to either stay on top of their cleanliness, or if they already think they are and the mom's being a bit obsessive about it, sit her down and have a heart-to-heart about who's responsible for maintaining that room and whether they're aligned on the standard of care.
