Hi there new member here, I have searched how to check if I have a sam or lg screen for my haswell macpro? 😕

I have searched and tried this command in my terminal window and nothing happens, no code comes up, thanks!

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

Did you get a 13 or 15 ?

13 inch 8g 256

Go to Display Preferences, Click on Color .. then on Color LCD profile, click Open Profile. Scroll to the bottom.

From what I understand, Samsung is based on Manufacturer ? For my 15" 2.6/16/1TB/750M dGPU: it's a Samsung: manufacturer = 610 .. model = A022

For my 15" 2.3/16/1TB/750M dGPU, manufacturer = 610, model = A019

There's a possibility that A018 panels (if you go to ColorSync and pull up the manufacturer info) are Samsung, but we need more people taking photos of their subpixels to know for sure.

manufacturer 00000610
model 0000A018

I just ordered some extension tubes for my DSLR. Supposedly they're coming tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to get decent shots of the subpixels of my A018 screen. 😎

I just got a base 15" and I have an A022 display - no yellow tint that I could see

no. the LG panels are the problem. someone above posted that 610=samsung.

Well, my A018 13'' haswell HAD image retention. So.. yea.

So did you did your tests? Is the A018 confirmed to be a Samsung?

I could make out the subpixels but not their shape, so I'd need access to a microscope to know for sure. 🙁
