With a Linux system (Ubuntu), you can use ddcprobe.
run in a termial
sudo apt-get install xresprobethen
sudo ddcprobeYou'll see lots of info about your graphics card. Then at the end, you'll see
monitorserial: xxxxxxx
monitorname: xxxxxx
monitorrange: xxxxxx 6 Do you mean the Monitor Make and Model? You can not get the Monitor's serial number, but you can get the make & model once X is running:
you can look for it in /var/log/Xorg.0.log , e.g. grep '--' /var/log/Xorg.0.log or in
1There's a software package called read-edid that should help you get to pretty much all information the monitor gives away. The separate tools are called get-edid and parse-edid:
sudo get-edid | parse-edid 1
