    I’ve got three monitors at work: Two Dell monitors arranged horizontally, and a Samsung that’s vertical.

    The Dells are U3219Q. U for UltraSharp (product name), 32 for 32 inch, and a little bit extra to differentiate it from other UltraSharp 32 inch models. Nice. (edit: apparently 19 means the model year, i.e. 2019 for this one)

    The Samsung is a LF32TU874VNXGO. Just… what? Samsung why do you do this to us?

      “Take two bottles into the shower? Not me. I just LF32TU874VNXGO.”

      … on second thought this is rubbish even if you do remember those TV ads.

      … on third thought, there’s something darkly funny about taking electronics into the shower.

      Get that lithium battery nice and soggy.

      The “other little bit” is the year - 19 means model year 2019. It might be out anywhere between late 18 and early 20.

      For many years, I had a l dell U2408WFP - 24", 2008 model year, wide-screen, forget what f was, professional. Was an awesome monitor. Last year, I moved up to 2 matched LG 32" 4K’s, but I won’t remember their naming system now, let alone in 16 years.

        Wow - This is very useful to know. Thanks! I’ve got a U4021QW at home, and a friend just bought a newer version of it (U4025QW).
