Where would I find that information? I'm going to pick up a 16" Macbook Pro today from Apple.

Is there a way to decipher the week without an online service? I am not a fan of giving out my SN.
TIA.

My 5th digit (week is a "K").
My understanding is you add 26 to your letter (in my case K = 11th letter)
So my week is 26+11=37.
Week 37 here and no color issues....

do you have actual dates? I can check mine as well.. assume you are using coconut?
Not sure why it only shrinks 16 MBP side bezel. The display looks bad without equal dimensions of bezel.
This thread is still going as though its premise made sense. It doesn't.
Likely because of the camera module. Not that big of a deal anyway.

It seems, you are a troll who thinks you know it all... why don't you just move on then? already... lol - the premise = original 16" MBP colors were washed out, the solution = shaped out, the result = all taken care of, so what part of this don't you get?
You're missing my point. The letter-of-the-alphabet+26 thing doesn't work.
The 5th digit in my serial number is N.
N=14
14+26=40
Yet my 16" MBP is week 45.
(And you've used 11 in your equation rather than 26 – that would make yours week 34. Except it doesn't, as described. What does yours say when you put the serial number into the website mentioned above?)
This is all utter conjecture anyway, based – as the previous poster said – on the notion that a screenshot represents display quality, which it assuredly doesn't. I think you've just seen two displays that look a bit different (as they very often do), and decided you like one more than the other.
This has been explained to you by several people, not only me. If your screenshot was accurate, there's simply no way that was a problem with the screen. It would be better to accept that you don't know what happened than to continue to encourage the unfounded idea that there was something wrong with your screen. Now you have people trying to figure out when their screen was made, for nothing.
Again.... my point is that I CAN TELL a difference LOL between the two screens! it is NOT based off a screen shot! OY! you are to0 literal, and it's a KNOWN apple issue to have screen variances..
Again, your screen shot shows that the problem wasn't the screen. No one doubts that you can tell the difference between what you saw before and what you see now. That doesn't imply it was a problem with the screen.
I think it was about the screen, as that is a known thing with lcd's that there are lot of variance in quality.
Anyway the thing you are suggesting for the reason would be easy to check if OP could take another screen grab from the machine he is happy with now the same way he took it before and post it here. I bet it is identical to one from the bad unit, but it proves my point the issue was with the display panel itself.
any more data points for this? my 16" screen seems a tad warmer and a tad dimmer (at peak brightness) compared to my 2017 15" but idk if this is real or not (the brightness at least)
This really feels like a calibration profile/color management issue, not a display panel issue. Mine has been fine 90% of the time, but every once in awhile I wake it from sleep and the display is washed out and stays that way. Restarting generally fixes the issue.
I've changed the profile on mine to one labeled simply "Display" (not "Display P3"), and the contrast and saturation for me are even better than if set to Apple RGB.
Display P3 and the factory-set Color LCD profile should be identical, and are supposedly configured for HDR; but something is not right (or at least, not right all the time).
The display is clearly capable of displaying rich, high-definition color... something is just telling it not to do so.

Well, it just did the opposite to me waking from sleep with "Display" profile selected; colors were way too dark and oversaturated.
Again, I only see it happen when it wakes from sleep; but something is off. Previous poster's suggestion about something with the camera possibly being part of it may be a contributing factor, as I noticed my camera had smudges across it from opening lid.
Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be the panel itself at fault.

So you don't get any other boxes here? Perhaps they have changed something since Sierra days then.
The info at the top is just info about the fields available, not actual data - and it's still there in Catalina. It only tells you that the device model (mmod) is a field of up to 30 characters.
No device model info is shown in your shot, either.
