Finding the make and model info about your PC’s hardware is usually straightforward, but what about the advanced display info for your monitor? Here’s how to find it.

When troubleshooting or upgrading different hardware on your PC, Windows 10 makes it easy to access most of the under-the-hood details. But what about the monitor you are using? At some point, you might find yourself in a situation where you need to know the make, model, or other details about the monitor connected to your PC. For example, you might be trying to set up a dual-monitor configuration and need the advanced display info for the monitor to make Windows 10 happy.

Unless you have the original manual or know the secret buttons to push to cycle through the display’s menu setting, it can be a pain to find the advanced details you need. But just like with finding your PC’s local drive or RAM details, Windows 10 makes finding the make or model and other specific details about the display a fairly painless process. You just need to know where to look.

How to Check Monitor Specs

You can locate the advanced display info for your monitor in Windows settings. Here’s where to find it.

1. To find the details about your monitor, head to Settings > System > Display, scroll down and click Advanced Display Settings.
   
2. The next screen that appears will list off a ton of details about your monitor(s). This information includes the manufacturer and model number. It also provides the resolution, model of graphics card it’s connected to, refresh rate, and a lot more.
   
3. From here, you can also click Display adapter properties. That opens the graphics card properties for additional info for maintenance. It also allows access to troubleshooting that might need to be done.
   

There are many different reasons why you would need to access the advanced display settings. For example, maybe you need help getting it to work with your computer’s display adapter. Perhaps you need to find the proper drivers for your laptop monitor, so it works with a projector. Or, perhaps you want to configure a dual-monitor setup for easier multitasking. Whether it’s for troubleshooting or another reason, information details about your monitor can be found easier even if you have multiple connected monitors.
