if you can actually find it on the monitor (face it, you threw the manuals away last year) – it’s embedded in the black plastic in 8 pt type or it’s only on internal components (void the warranty when you open the case) or it’s a quarter inch QR code in metallic foil your phone won’t focus on
Yeah.
The carcass of a dead ancient dragon can be used to interface with the infinite void, which will help determine the causality that generated the Model no. of the monitor.
I’ve got a bin where I put all my manuals. I’ve also started putting extra components that come with it but I didn’t need at the time in there, sometimes even attached to their respective manuals so I can figure out wtf they are for when I come upon them at a later date.
It’s been working pretty well for me so far. I don’t need the manuals or extra components often, but it’s so nice knowing exactly where to look when I do.
I’m the type of psychopath that reads manuals for fun so I have multiple boxes for things I’ve bought over the years. I have manuals for things I’ve thrown away.
On a lot yeah, but even then if it isn’t used and/or doesn’t make lot of logical sense, it’s very, very annoying. A decent example of using both are Alienware ultrawide monitors, which in their name generally have the year, and a model number as well. However, if that model number and the year aren’t listed (not that uncommon in my experience looking at used ones), it’s hard to tell if you are getting the current model or last year’s, as they often look soo similar.

Or if it still works, you can use the DDC interface to get its model no.
DDC… Dead Dragon Carcass?
Yeah. The carcass of a dead ancient dragon can be used to interface with the infinite void, which will help determine the causality that generated the Model no. of the monitor.
Good news, at least for the US folks. A warranty can’t be voided just by opening up an item. Does not matter what the manufacturer says.
Except apple juice cans.

Sorry I’m tired 😴

they usually have it in the menu too
Huh? I’ve never seen a monitor that didn’t have a sticker with the model and serial. Although they sometimes stick it behind the Vesa cover.
