How do I know what display I have on my Macbook?

[jaredtomas]

Is there a way to find out?

[Much Ado]

For details on everything inside your Mac, go:

The Apple icon in the top left corner -> About This Mac -> More Info.

People seem to be mentioning model numbers around this forum - which I can't seem to find via the "About this Mac" option. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? My apologies, I am new to the Apple world.

Yes,
First, you can see the actual model number of the display by opening terminal and entering in the following command:

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

Second, you can go to System Prefs > Display > Color > pick the profile you're on > Open Profile > and then see below ...
149916
149917
149918
