My Monitor, for example, is the Asus PB27U. That &#8220;27&#8221; stands for 27 inches. This works well for <a href=\"https:\/\/g100.us\/monitor-brands-guide\/\">popular monitor brands<\/a> such as Asus, BenQ, AOC, iiyama, Eizo and Acer Monitors. You can find your Monitor's product name by looking at the product sticker at the back of your monitor.<\/li>\n<li>By looking up your monitor's tech specs online. Find your monitor's product name from the product sticker at the back of your monitor and look up it's specifications online.<\/li>\n<li>If you don't have a measuring tool at hand, the above also works for figuring out your Laptop's screen size.
