How do I tell if I have a Samsung or LG screen in my 15" Retina MBP? I've tried a few of the scripts, but none of them are working. Is this because of a recent OSX update or something? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Maybe this* can help finding the model, if the Terminal command** does not work.

Terminal command:
Terminal command:
Code:
ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
Go to finder, Type and Open "Terminal" Application.
Copy and Paste this onto Terminal (NOTE: This is a different command than what simsaladimbamba stated)
If your display code begins with "LP," it's an LG display. If your display code begins with LSN, you can celebrate as it's a SAMSUNG dislay.
