What screen do you guys have LG or Chei Mei?

[SPECOPx]

I was wondering this if the majority of you guys have LG or Chei Mei.. Hopefully my recently ordered MBP doesn't have the Chei Mei...that'll suck to go through calibration until I find the right one

System Preferences > Display > Color > Open profile >> take a look at line 13. It’s either 9C85(Chei Mei) or 9C84(LG/Samsung)

Never mind this post... Chrome didn't let me go to thread tools, but IE always does the trick.

I would include instructions on how to find out in the first post of the thread to avoid constant replies from people asking about it.

I have the lg screen and its amazing. The blacks are deep and the whites are very white.

Picked up a MBP at the Apple store on Monday night. It's got the LG.

From having to return a bunch of mpb's due to varying issues, I've had opportunity to see both, and have seen both displayed in stores. My mbp has the LG screen, however, imo, the 85 is superior. My LG screen, as well as the others I've seen has vertical backlight bleeding as well as having poor black levels. I believe that's what it's called, when, on a black screen, it just looks washed out and gray. Unfortunately though, i think there are good and bad panels of each type. So, I wouldn't get too excited over having one brand over the other.

I have a 9C85 (Chimei). After calibration, colors are vivid and pop while contrast is excellent. No dead/stuck pixels. Slight flashlight effect at the bottom on a black screen with brightness all the way up, which is not noticeable at all during normal use. It is much brighter than my previous generation MBP & if I turn brightness up, it becomes too bright. I don't see any practical reason to need an even brighter screen. Right now I am using less than 1/2 of its full brightness.

I like my LG.

Chi-Mei here, and it's awesome IMO

I have the LG and it is great, but no where near as good as the new 24" Apple LED!

Chei Mei on my MBP. Not sure what screen the MBP that I had to return was (for none-monitor related issues). This monitor is beautiful. The ambient light sensor is perhaps a little too sensitive (it will adjust it's brightness when I move my head sometimes) but when I turn off automatically adjust brightness I have no problems at all with my monitor.
