How can I tell whether I have a LG or Samsung screen on my MacBook Pro with Retina display?
Go to your Applications folder and launch Terminal. Paste in the following and hit return:
ioreg -lw0 | grep "EDID" | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
Look at the beginning of the second line to see which manufacturer made your display. If it starts with LP then you have an LG display. Samsung displays start with LSN
Thank you !!!
You're welcome
I tried this on my machine and it only returns "LCD display"?
im writing this line
and all i get is
COLOR LCD
what does that mean?
Even I get the same thng in my second line
Color LCD. There is no LSN and LP in the second line. What does this mean?
You posted a serial number in tour response. Persomal email, phone number, unit serial number ... should not be posted.
I pasted the above line into terminal. It installed something then gave me the answer. What did it install?
I tried various suggestions on my MBPR 13 and nothing remotely similar appears. Did apple remove this function/file?
Thanks for this, apparently I have an LG, does it matter? 😕
It installed Xcode developer tools, something that doesn't ship with OS X normally. It's directly from Apple, no worries!

I have the exact same issue.
I am wondering, did Apple remove this so people with LG screens would stop returning their rMBP?
