Hi Pavan，

You can get the monitor model from the UserFriendlyName property.

Get-WmiObject WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi |
Select-Object @{l="Manufacturer";e={[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.ManufacturerName)}},
@{l="Model";e={[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.UserFriendlyName)}},
@{l="SerialNumber";e={[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.SerialNumberID)}}

Best Regards,

Ian Xue

Thank you, excellent answer!

Answer 2

My 2 cents, which is far more human friendly than the accepted answer imo

function Get-Normalized { # Filters out padding from EDID codes
    param( [int[]]$In )
    return ( $In | Where-Object { $_ -ne 0 } | ForEach-Object { [char]$_ } ) -join ""
}

Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\wmi -ClassName WmiMonitorID | ForEach-Object {
    [PSCustomObject]@{
        Manufacturer = Get-Normalized $_.ManufacturerName
        Model        = Get-Normalized $_.UserFriendlyName
        ProductCode  = Get-Normalized $_.ProductCodeID
        Serial       = Get-Normalized $_.SerialNumberID
        Active       = $_.Active
    }
}

If you need more information (resolution, etc.), try the following article (just replace Get-WmiObject with Get-CimInstance!) - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/use-powershell-to-discover-multi-monitor-information/

Finally! Thank you so much, yours worked.

There is command line Microsoft Corp. "devcon.exe" program with source code based on SetupAPI, Config Manager. The most complete software-accessible information about a monitor is found in the monitor's EDID EISA ID: manufacturer, for example, SAM, Product Code: model , for example, 7226 (SAM7226) (And Serial Number which companies use at their own discretion, for example, to designate not a specific monitor, but monitors of the same type). In Windows, the EDID is considered a monitor descriptor and is stored in the registry at Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY... "Device Parameters" "EDID". In Windows 11, all EDID blocks are stored here.

Also

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/windows/win32/wmicoreprov/wmigetmonitorraweedidv1block-wmimonitordescriptormethods

OS Windows in Device Manager in Monitors in the Monitor Properties, Details, Hardware Ids displays the sum of Manufacturer: SAM and the number Model or in other words EISA ID: SAM and the number Product Code in the form of SAM....

The exact marketing name of the monitor model can be found on the monitor itself or on the box.

If you place this code in a VBS file and double-click it, an HTML file will be generated containing the names (Name = Property.Name) and parameter values (s = objInstance.properties_(Name)) of the WMI classes from "root\cimv2", "root\WMI" . Instead of current "WmiMonitorID" here may be any class.

Monitor specific data may not be presented correctly in this case.

There is Microsof Corp. application wbemtest.exe in directory C:\Windows\System32\wbem
