How can I find information about my screen, i.e. model number, vendor etc?

And how can I ask potential sellers of used computers to do the same if they are on windows?

You can see the user manual, or see behind the monitor for a sticker with the monitor info.

less /var/log/Xorg.0.log

And search for "EDID" or "Manufacturer" (/EDID , /Manufacturer). The reason I can't formulate a grep expression is that these are video driver outputs in the log. As each driver can have a different format, I can't come up with a generalized search expression. As a last resort, you can browse through the Xorg.log and spot the relevant driver outputs.

There was another way to get this information in a deterministic way, but I can't remember ATM.
