Here it comes again.. And why is the manufacturer important? Is the display malfunctioning? I used to think we're past this madness.
Post a screenshot of Blackmagic disk test please
730MB/s both read and write. SM512

That's about what I got, and this ssd is a Sandisk.

Hmmm , I get 680 Write / 730 Read SM256
Wonder why write is low ?
Really dude? Necessary to be rude to people?
Command + Space -> System Information -> Storage -> Find Spot Similar to attached image

Cause the bigger your SSD the faster it read and write..
My former ME293 is the same result as yours.
Are the Samsung screens brighter than the LG screens? My 15" Mid 2014 retina screen, which is LG, feels a bit dim.
Are LG screens still problematic and to be avoided, or has the manufacturing process improved?

it means you are the proud owner of a screen with liquid crystals in it that can display colors.

My ass sure is nice and smart:Smartass
Its a very nice screen at that
But is it Samsung or LG?
run this line in the Terminal.app
ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
If output doesn't prefix LP then it's a Samsang screen,otherwise LP
My ass sure is nice and smart:
Yes I ran that command line in the terminal before. It asked to download X-Code so I did that. But it still comes up with this.
@.`0 6
Color LCD
So as it does not prefix with LP its a Samsung screen. Not that it matters but still.
Wrong grep?
(Does some quick Googling for the command-line stuff...)
Different "grep" value?
This gives me a line that starts with LP, which is an LG display. This MBP has serious burn-in but it's work-issued so I don't worry about it.

Even if I'm running gfxCardStatus and have the discreet 650M disabled? If true, sorry.
If I finally broke down and bought an IrisPro-only model for myself I would've know this...
On current base model rMBPs there is no easy way of finding out the manufacturer (you could take the display assembly apart and check the label on the back of the panel, but you'd most likely crack the panel in the process).
The method you tried reveals the serial number (edit: and model number of course) of the panel on rMBPs with a dGPU. On models with iGPU only, all it returns is the name of the current color profile, which is in no way useful in determining the manufacturer.
