Dell monitors have names such as "U2312f" or "E2318H".

The model number is made up of (at least) four elements:

1. Category (1 character):
   
   
   E (Economy) / T (Touch) / P (Professional) / S (Studio) / U (Ultrasharp)


2. Diagonal length in inches (including the bezel if I'm not mistaken)


3. A two-digit number


4. Potential combination of several extra letters - upper or lowercase, e.g. H, M, t, f.

Can someone explain the meaning of components 3 and 4?
