I found a TERMINAL string a couple of weeks ago, which returned the LCD panel model number/type number of my Macs screen. I can't find it on Google... does anyone know what the string is, that you type into TERMINAL??...
Got a tip for us?

Thanks!. The string required, for other people's reference, is:
Code:
ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6No prob. I linked the post instead of inlining it because the post also explains how to interpret the result.
