I'm trying to determine which panel is in my new 27" iMac. On my previous machine, the following command in terminal would give me a code I could look up to determine exactly what was in my system:

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

When I run that command now, I get nothing returned. with that in mind, I tried running the following command:

ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID​

That resulted in the following output:

"IODisplayEDID" = <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>​

Anyone know how to interpret that?
