Where do you go to find out what the manufacturer code/model code match up to in the real world on a Macbook Pro display?
 
Oh, I must have failed to explain what I need.

What I mean is that I have the codes from my profile, and am looking for a chart that tells me what manufacturer and exact model number my display is.

Open Terminal, paste this string:

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

and hit Enter.
 
System Pref.>Displays>Color tab>Open Profile>#17

On my Mid-June Macbook Pro 15" I have to select the Color LCD profile and then Open Profile - scroll down to the last item, "mmod" or something similar, it will show the model number (mine is 00009CA3) those last 4 digits are the model number.:cool:
