Oooooooooooo... I called the local Apple shop and apparently there's a big Big BIG BIG conspiracy behind Macbook screens- According to 10,000 of angry bloggers.

Turns out, there IS a model number and it's something like 661-3959, 661-4211 or 661-4398. The sales guy at LowEndMac.com said it's either an LG or a Samnsung but Apple doesn't want you know that it's not their own brand. I was like "yea right", but sure enough, when I called Apple and gave the phone tech specific orders to look up my serial number and tell me if it's an LG or a Samgung, he said it was IMPOSSIBLE. I said "wait, you're telling me Apple doesn't keep basic records on the machines they sell such as screen brand? That's absurd!" So he puts me on hold for a few minutes and comes back only to tell me it's a Samsung.

I'm going to go buy the Samgsung replacement part and that technician better PRAY TO GOD or whoever that he's right, because I will not let this die... No no, I surely will not.

Apple Inc, if you're reading this and would like to stand behind your product for a computer technician and loyal supporter of 15 YEARS, you can still replace my screen and I can be contacted at (650) 346-4211 during normal business hours.
 
Other than this little gem in the listing:

Factory Seconds. May have slight scratch on screen rest of the Display is in Perfect Shape.

"May" ????

Does the seller think that this wording is supposed to make us feel better?
