Hey all,
There has been a command-line method for checking the model # of the LCD in the system that has been floating around for a while, and as people have been trying it on the new Retina MacBook Pro, they've been discovering that it only ever spits out "Color LCD" as an identifier.
I've determined that if you modify the command slightly, you can get the system to give up the model number of the display. Simply replace the IODisplayEDID part of the command with \"EDID\" like so:
My guess is that all of the displays currently shipping on rMBP are the same make and model (LG Philips), but it would be interesting to see if anybody else gets different results on their system.
