The following command gives you resolution info':

Code: Select all

xdpyinfo | grep -B2 resolution
If you are running more than one display, then it will add their vertical dimensions together.
1_MSI: MAG B560 TORP', i5, RAM 16GB, GTX 1070 Ti 12GB, M2 238GB + USB, MX-23 Fb to Openbox
2_Lenovo: Ideapad 520S, i5, RAM 8GB, GPU i620, HDD 1TB, MX-21 - Openbox
3_Clevo: P150SM-A, i7, RAM 16GB, nVidia 8600, 2x 1TB HDD & M.2 256 GB, MX-21 - Openbox

Moving a lot of furniture about to see the label on the back side of the Monitor (Manufactured: March 10th 2009)

My guess was decently close. Side by side with other old monitor Manufactured: February 2013 the screen on this one is brownish and colors are not very saturated. 10 years for $150 I guess was decent service.
