Hmm... That ultimately may not be sufficient.  You should be able to
look at the raw EDID output.  When I last did it I seem to remember that
piping the EDID dump into `strings`, and that one of the resulting
strings (IIRC the last one) looked suspiciously like a model number.

So basically, try:

	get-edid | strings

And look at the last couple lines.

I'd try it myself, but I haven't had a T6x in a while. :/
