I've searched high and low and can't find it.

How do I find out if I have an LG or Samsung panel?
 
In terminal type this command.

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

It should return something along the lines of:

LSNXXXXX
LPXXXXXX

LSN being Samsung and LP being LG.

I'd imagine its in the "Graphics/Display" section of your system information.

Apple>About this mac>more info>Displays

or

Apple>about this mac>more info>system report>Graphics/Displays

Awesome thank you, my display is great with no issues.

It's not which is the weird part.
 
How to tell if Samsung or LG panel?

I've been hearing that they switched. I was wondering how I can tell which one I have on my rMBP.

If it shows up "LP" its an LG panel

"LSN" - samsung
