There is plenty of hardware out there. Tech companies have whole lines of phones, laptops, and desktops that have a general name within that line. But the model identifies the number when it comes down to specifications. For phones, the model number is not hard to remember. Laptops come with service tags that identify them, or in some cases, laptop companies give you an app to install on your system to help identify it. This is not the same for monitor. It is not impossible to find the make and model of a monitor on Windows 10. The information is just in an unlikely spot. In this article, we will show you how to know about the model of your PC on Windows 10.
Finding the make of a monitor does not really require using your OS, whatever it is. The maker’s name is usually stamped on the monitor at the bottom of the bezel. If nothing else, when you power your PC on and it is not connected to anything. Then you may see the maker’s logo appear for a few seconds before the monitor enters sleep.

Model of monitor
The make of a monitor is very easy to find but the model number is kind of tricky. To find the model number, you need to first connect the monitor to your system. Make sure that it is recognized and that Windows is able to send output to it. Also, make sure you do not have any shadow monitors on your system.
Once you do that, open the Settings application and go to the System group of settings. Select the Display tab and look for the Advanced display settings option at the bottom or at the right. Then click it and on the screen that follows, open the Choose display dropdown.
Select your secondary display or external monitor from this list. The monitor will show up with its make and model number. In the screenshot below, the PC that you connect to the system is a Dell PC with model number ST2420L.
There is a Display Adapter properties option on this window and if you click it. The window that opens has a dedicated Monitor tab. The monitor tab then lets you manage some settings for your monitor however any information regarding the monitor’s make or model is not going to be accurate. It will likely just show up as a generic monitor.
If you still have your monitor’s box lying around somewhere, you can always look up its model number from it but that is a long shot. Not many folks save the boxes their hardware comes in. There are not many applications that can detect the PC model number. So the Settings app is really your best shot. That said, it is highly unlikely that you won’t find the correct model number here.
