Hi i just bought the 13inch Macbook Pro Mid 2014 model 256gb model. Got it on sale from Best buy. I wanted to check if I got a Samsung of LG Screen.

I tried:
Code:
ioreg -lw0 | grep "EDID" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6

It returns
@.`0 6
Color LCD

I searched around and then tried. Someone said string location had changed.
Code:
ioreg -lw0 | grep "EDID" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r

This Returned:
Code:
??????? ??xo??UL?%
PT?h??@.`0 6??Color LCD



Still no luck. Is there a different command for checking Screen type. I am running 10.10. Thanks for the help.

Just to add more information if it helps. This is what I got from my display profile in color sync utility:
Code:
Manufacturer: 00000610
Model: 0000A020
Manufactor Date: CD238700

0000A020 is LG, and 0000A018 is Samsung.

Thanks that helps. Its a bummer I got the Toshiba. Any way to check if I got the batch or Toshiba that is considered good? I wonder if it is worth it to go ask for a trade
