How can I find information about my monitor model?

When you need to replace or repair your screen, identifying its model is an essential step in ensuring compatibility with new equipment. Here are the different ways to find this information easily.

Check the label on the screen

The first solution is to physically examine the screen. A label is usually stuck to the back of the device. This contains a number of important pieces of information, including the model number, serial number and technical specifications. This data is crucial to identify the exact model and avoid any confusion when replacing it.

View your device settings

On a laptop or monitor connected to a PC, model information can also be found in the operating system settings.

• Under Windows: Go to "Settings", then to the "Display" section. Here you'll find details of the screen resolution and sometimes the exact model.
• MacOS: Click on the Apple icon at top left, then choose "About this Mac". Then go to the "Displays" tab to access the necessary information.

Consult product documentation

If you've kept the original box or user manual, these documents often contain the model and specifications of your display. This is particularly useful if the rear label is illegible or missing.

Search online by serial number

If you've found a serial number on the screen label, you can use it to search the manufacturer's website. This provides detailed information on the model, specifications and even compatible parts.

Why is it important to identify your screen model?

Knowing the exact model of your screen ensures that you choose the right equipment when making a purchase, whether for a replacement or an upgrade. It also avoids compatibility problems, which could lead to malfunctions or reduced performance.
