Hi,

You can use the win32_desktopmonitor class to get the monitor type.
I do not see any way to get the serial number. Add a reference to
system.management.dll.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_desktopmonitor.asp
Dim moReturn As Management.ManagementObjectCollection

Dim moSearch As Management.ManagementObjectSearcher

Dim mo As Management.ManagementObject

moSearch = New Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from
Win32_DesktopMonitor")

moReturn = moSearch.Get

For Each mo In moReturn

Debug.WriteLine(mo("Name"))

Debug.Indent()

Debug.WriteLine(mo("MonitorManufacturer"))

Debug.WriteLine(mo("MonitorType"))

Debug.Unindent()

Next

Ken

Hi Yavuz,

I never saw a monitor serial number in a window.

Can you give an example where you saw that serial number presented on the
screen, till now I had always to use the TA module. Turn Around.

Than I could mostly read it on the monitor, although sometimes it was with
the TDU module, Turn downside up.

But I am really curious where you saw this?
