How to get display monitor serial number from PowerShell

This is a quick one, I had to get the SN of my external screens recently and I thought I should share the powershell command I used for this task. This works only on your local machine, for AD nodes there are other options out there on the internet.

Get-WmiObject WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi |Select-Object @{l="Manufacturer";e={[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.ManufacturerName)}},@{l="Model";e={[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.UserFriendlyName)}},@{l="SerialNumber";e={[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.SerialNumberID)}}

This should return something like this:

PS C:\Users\costin> Get-WmiObject WmiMonitorID -Namespace root\wmi |Select-Object @{l="Manufacturer";e={[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.ManufacturerName)}},@{l="Model";e={[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.UserFriendlyName)}},@{l="SerialNumber";e={[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.SerialNumberID)}}
