Macbook Pro LCD Screen : Samsung or LG?
Some people are sticklers for getting the best product/configuration for their money. When it comes to a Macbook Pro; it turns out there is more then one manufacturer that provides LCD screens to apple. The irony is that the best screen happens to be the one that Apple is phasing out due to various legal/competitive reasons.
To find out which screen you have, just do the following.
- Open up Terminal, paste this, hit enter:
- ioreg -lw0 | grep \”EDID\” | sed “/[^<]*</s///” | xxd -p -r | strings -6
- If the panel id starts with LSN, you have a Samsung.
- If the panel id starts with LP, you have an LG.
Samsung is preferred as it does not suffer from image retention.
