Get some informations of my screens

Question

I wanted to ask if there was any way to get the information of my computers screens so I could put those informations into a database as well. But so far I haven't managed to find any solution on the internet except one guy who shares his visual basic script which I actually don't really want to use unless I understand it completely.

I mean no one with his right mind would just run an unknown script, which could execute anything on his computer and he would probably not know what has happened. I think there must be some way to get the information of the screens.

This would be the last bit to finish my work on a batch script which would collect a lot of information which I will only have to put inside a database afterwards or perhaps I will work on a second script to do that for me. But the important part is: "How can I get the Information of my screens via a batch script.?"

I mean there must be some way and I am sure there must be something like wmic display get serialnumber or similar to retrieve the information.

The only information I need is the mark, the serialnumber and the modell of the screen.

Answer 1

you have two options (though if there are no additional drivers installed the information will be generic)

1) Wmic:

wmic path Win32_DesktopMonitor  get /format:value

and also (check the Compo's comment):

WMIC /NameSpace:\\Root\WMI Path WmiMonitorID Get /format:value

2) DxDiag:

start "" /w dxdiag /t "%cd%\~.txt"

DxDiag cant print information into the console but will create a text file with the system information (including the monitor one) which you can filter later with FIND or FINDSTR information.If you need further help please check the output of the two commands and tell what you need to be saved.
