How can you find out what display is connected to your macintosh? \u00c2\u00a0Well, on the desktop’s you can examine the monitor, probably… \u00c2\u00a0But what about your laptop?<\/p>\n
Open a terminal window, and type this in:<\/p>\n
ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed \"\/[^<]*<\/s\/\/\/\" | xxd -p -r | strings -6<\/pre>\nFor example:<\/p>\n

- I don’t have any information on what the “SMBXAJ0806727” is, I thought it was the serial number, but it doesn’t match the display’s serial number…<\/li>\n
- The VO22L, in my case, is the model of the monitor, and I assume the HDTV10A is the class of display.<\/li>\n
- The rest of the output appear to be gibberish…<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
