8600 sxga+ screen identification?

Hi forum members!

 

I just got my 8600 system, and I would really like to know what make mu screen is (samsung or hitachi).

I have tried the 3 methods described in this thread: http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=insp_video&message.id=101093 , but none of them work for me.

1. I can't get the dell system configuration utitlity on the website to work. (I ordered from Denmark, which means that my system was assembled in Ireland)

2. I can only find a "default monitor" in windows registry - none of the manufacturer strings are found

3. Neither rivatuner, powerstrip or sisoft sandra can find my monitor as anything els than "default monitor"

 

Does anyone know of another way to try and figure out which screen I have?

 

Thanks in advance,

Sincerely

Beack

Hi Again!

 

I am now a happy man

 

I used a kanotix disk to boot up, and it sure verified that tha screen was a SEC3150, meaning a samsung!

This kanotix/knoppix boot seems to be a sure thing when wanting to confirm the make of the screen!

 

Hope you all can use this!
