Monitor Sv: How To Easily Identify It

If you're using a Windows operating system, finding out the specifications of your monitor is a straightforward process. On Windows 11, for example, you can view the display specifications and capabilities by going to the Settings app and clicking on the Display page. From there, you can find information such as the brand, model number, pixel resolution, refresh rate, colour format, and more. For Windows 10, you can find the make and model of your monitor by going to Settings > System > Display, and then clicking on Advanced Display Settings. This will bring up a screen with detailed information about your monitor, including the manufacturer, model number, resolution, refresh rate, and graphics card it's connected to. Additionally, you can use third-party software or command-line tools to retrieve monitor information, such as wmic or PowerShell scripts. If you're using a Samsung monitor, you can find the model and serial number behind the stand.

DumpEDID utility: a command-line tool

DumpEDID is a command-line tool that can be used to retrieve your EDID (Extended display identification data) from your monitor. It is a small console application that extracts the EDID records from your computer, analyses them, and displays them in a console window. EDID records provide essential information about your monitor, such as the manufacture week/year, monitor manufacturer, monitor model, supported display modes, and more.

To use DumpEDID, you must access the command console to launch it. If you are using a newer OS, you can simply drag and drop the executable into the designated field. If this method does not work, you can type in the full path to the executable file. Once launched, the app's role and functionality are straightforward.

DumpEDID provides a wide range of information about your monitor, including the maximum resolution, the horizontal and vertical frequencies, the display alternatives, whether it supports standby, suspend, or low-power mode, the manufacturer ID, product ID, and serial number. This information can be particularly useful if you are shopping for an exact model or require detailed technical specifications about your monitor.

It is important to note that DumpEDID does not have a dedicated graphic interface and does not allow you to save or export the retrieved information. Additionally, it does not work in PowerShell; it must be used with the Command Prompt.

Overall, DumpEDID is a valuable tool for users who need to access detailed information about their monitors beyond what is typically provided by standard system information tools.

Monitor model number: printed on monitor or sticker on back

Section title: Monitor model number: printed on monitor or sticker on back

The model number of your monitor is important information that can help you with troubleshooting, registering your monitor, or seeking help for technical issues. It can also help you identify your monitor to find compatible accessories, drivers, and warranty support.

The monitor model number is usually printed along the top or bottom edge of the monitor or on a sticker at the back of the monitor. This sticker is often located near the monitor's connection ports, such as power, HDMI, or VGA. The model number is listed alongside other details, such as the serial number and manufacturer information. In some cases, the model number may be imprinted directly into the monitor's body.

If you cannot locate the model number on the sticker or printed on the monitor, you can try checking the monitor's original packaging or user manual. The model number is usually printed on the front of the box, or you can look for a product information sticker on the side or bottom of the box. The user manual will also contain the model number under sections like Production Information or Specification.

If you are still unable to locate the model number, you can try using software to identify the model of your monitor. There are several programs available that can scan your computer and display information about your monitor, including the model number.

Once you have the model number, you can use it to search for more information about your monitor on the manufacturer's website.
