How to find out which monitor is connected to the computer

Finding the specifications for your screen will help you determine the maximum resolution you can use for your display. Screen specifications may include refresh rates and different resolution sizes supported by the device. You can view the basic characteristics of your monitor by viewing the display properties in the control panel or by using software such as SiSoftware's Sandra.

How to find out from the sticker on the case

In this text, at the bottom, there are a few methods to determine the diagonal, amount of RAM, video card, processor, operating system. They apply both to equipment where you have the opportunity to run and see the characteristics in Windows or the manufacturer's firmware (such as your laptop), and to equipment that is currently not working (products such as those on the shelves of technical shops)

REFERENCE! The most effective and easy way to find out which screen you are using is to look for a sticker on the device itself.

Usually there are no marks or inscriptions on the front side; most likely, it is pasted on the back side of the display, not far from the VGA (D-Sub), HDMI and other connectors. It shows such basic characteristics as diagonal, amount of RAM, video card, processor, operating system.
