how to amend formatting of output

when I do the below I get the format as "@{xxx}"...how do I just get the computer description and none of the the other formatting around it?

$CompDes = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem |Select Description

Write-Host "Computer Description $CompDes"

Output:

Computer Description @{Description=TESING_SERVER}

Thanks,

Another way:

$CompDes = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | Foreach-Object {$_.Description}

$CompDes = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem | Select -exp Description
Write-Host "Computer Description $CompDes"

-exp is short for -ExpandProperty. It gets the value of the specified property.
