I've had a monitor stolen from a workroom and need to find out what Make/Model it was. Is there a way to find out what type it was in the registry or anywhere else?

Thanks so much!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > ControlSet001 > Enum > DISPLAY

Folders with the 7 character names are the Hardware ID's of all the monitors ever attached to your machine.

in my case

BNQ7670 (Benq 19" LCD)
SAM001F (Samusung 19" LCD)
VSC211C (Viewsonic 19" LCD)

Google those ID's and you should find the models
