I've got a Santa Rosa (mid 2007) Macbook Pro.

Where can I get the specifications of my display?

System Profiler is too simple and incorrect (states it can display 32 bit colour, which it can't.)

I'm looking for make, model, panel type (TN, IPS, VA), response time, and so forth.

I've searched google but didn't find anything.
 
Hi,

open a terminal window and run this command:

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

It gives you the display model. After that try to find the manufactuer using google and see if he lists further details concerning viewing angle, etc.
 
If the model # on the bottom is A1260 or A1226, you most likely have an LG Philips LP154WP2(TL)(A1). Early 2008, LP154WP2(TL)(A2). If you are interested in upgrading, there is a noticeable improvement to be seen when it is swapped out for an AU Optronics B154PW04, depending on the economy in parts of Asia it'll run you $190-$215 to buy one screen.

It is kind of like stereos. You can search specs all day long, but they do not register to what we see, or even to what is accurate. They are often exaggerated, and the worthwhile specs are not the ones that get put on the product sheets you see.
