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

I have got the following result:
Color LCD
2A1092WH6JL
What does it mean?
Thank you, jedlh. Further research confirmed your statements and calibration tweaked/improved a couple of the features which had concerned me. The black still is not as black as I hoped, though.
when I enter the code into the terminal, it asks me to get X code, but won't install it. What is X code?
None of those commands give me a number 2
here is the result
$ ioreg -l -x | grep IODisplay | xxd -p | grep 4c50| wc -l
7
$ ioreg -l -x | grep IODisplay | xxd -p | grep 4c534e | wc -l
