Honestly it’s better than just having a generic name which they apply over several generations, with the only difference being the year at the end (which they might forget to add on some listing’s). So long as it has a simple way to find the size and resolution from the model id, the rest can be kinda funky as long as I can Google it.
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.
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.
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.
The problem I have with this naming scheme as a consumer is it is hard to find which models are roughly equivalent. Like theyll have their mumbojumbo generic name like ABC24P and this is what you find on reviews but then theres ABC24PE, ABC24PU, ABC24PI3Q and often finding info on if it is just some regional release, different panel or what is actually the difference is problematic.

I agree with you so much
or AMD’s ever changing naming schemes for GPUs
I mean, I’ll take the stupid XTX crap over whatever the hell Nvidia is doing with Ti super bullshit

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 😴

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.
they usually have it in the menu too
