If you just bought a new MacBook Pro can you run the following command within the Terminal app?

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

It'll output the model number of your LCD. Just want to google the part numbers to see what the actual specs are.

This is the output for mine (I have a 2006 MBP):

LP171WE2-TLA1
Color LCD

The LTN154BT08 appears to be the same as last year's model so they might all be the same as previous models (excluding the new high-res 15").
