Identifying Dell Monitor types by their Model Number

The following article demonstrates how to identify the type of Dell Monitor by understanding the Monitor Model Number.

The basis and usage of Dell monitor model names

(Figure.1 Dell U-Series Monitors)

Dell EMC has decided on a new Monitor model number naming convention. There are several reasons for this:

• It makes setup and identification for IT workers and systems easier
• Dell can comply with regulatory certifications and other external requirements easier
• Using the model number, you can quickly identify:
  • The size and resolution of the screen
  • The generation of technology
  • Call out the different features of the monitor
  • Where it ranks among other monitors
• It is much easier to understand and use than older naming conventions:
  • You do not need to re-learn any of the standards involved
  • This will become more relevant over time as more monitors come out

Note: This affects monitors produced since 2019.
