Brand and Model of Computer Monitors

Hi,

This is in Windows 10 and Office 365 Environment. The end users are using 2 monitors.

Goal: I want to know the Brand and Model of the above 2 monitors.

Would somebody show me how to get it please.

Thanks,
Tjie

Do you just want to do this on one computer, or is this a more general question, will you be doing this on many computers?

Do you want a GUI windows approach, or a command line approach?

Do the computers already have 2 or more video ports? The ones we buy do.

You can use whatever monitors you want or have already standardized on. It help if they are identical from a user perspective, but they don't have to be.

[Edit: I totally misunderstood the question at first. Please ignore this comment.]

If a command line approach is okay you can do this at a command line:

wmic DesktopMonitor get Caption,Description,MonitorType /format:list

Open in new window
