I'm trying to determine which panel is in my new 27" iMac. On my previous machine, the following command in terminal would give me a code I could look up to determine exactly what was in my system:

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

When I run that command now, I get nothing returned. with that in mind, I tried running the following command:

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID​

That resulted in the following output:

"IODisplayEDID" = <00ffffffffffff00061005b0000000001c160104b53c2278226fb1a7554c9e250c505400000001010101010101010101010101010101565e00a0a0a029503020350055502100001a1a1d008051d01c204080350055502100001c000000fc00694d61630a2020202020202020000000000000000000000000000000000000018e020328c1230907078301000070fa100000127a31fc78bdb202108874e56afa1000dbeef5f7f8feff565e00a0a0a029503020350055502100001a1a1d008051d01c204080350055502100001c000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000cc>​

Anyone know how to interpret that?

Has this been confirmed for the 2013 iMacs? It's probably the case, but I'd like to know for sure.

I've yet to see one that isn't the LG panel - and I doubt they've got multiple manufacturers fusing the glass ;).
