You can use wmic for the task of getting the monitor make and model information from a Windows system. Get Manufacturer and Model of Monitor(s) via Command Line For that specific issue, I created a follow-up question here. I accepted the current answer because it is the right solution to the question I asked, even though it doesn't work in my specific instance due to bad EDID values.

The proposed question doesn't specify native-only solutions, which is an important requirement for me and many other users who want to be able to accomplish such a relatively simple task without downloading or installing additional software. This is evidenced by the fact that none of the answers to the supposed original question correctly answer mine, despite said question having existed since 2009, and by the fact that the only correct answer to my question is an obscure command-line one. I did so knowing that it is notoriously hard for Windows 7 users to obtain specifics for said piece of hardware with a native software solution. My question, by contrast, is asking about a piece of hardware specific to desktop computers. The proposed question is incredibly broad, seeking to cover all (laptop) hardware with a single solution. The proposed question is specific to laptops. It isn't a duplicate of the proposed question because: This question was initially claimed to be a duplicate of another question. How can I get the manufacturer and model of my monitor from within Windows, without having to disconnect and manhandle a 27" inch monitor looking for a label that may not exist, or download any third-party software? It seems odd that there's no native, software-only solution to do this on Windows 7.
