[QUOTE="moosed, post: 1750994, member: 390422"] My only doubt left with regard to it being the wrong part is if the ebay company sent me the wrong screen to the one listed, but im fairly certain they sent the correct one. I never bothered to actually check the label on it to see, just assumed it was correct as it looked correct. Is there anyway i can find out what the screen is without taking it off ? perhaps some kind of terminal command ? I found this: [I][B]ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6[/B][/I] But it only reports what i think is a serial, and when i google that serial nothing of any relevance appears. I really don't want to have to take the screen off to check, especially as im 95% certain its the correct part. I have now done fresh installs of El Capitan and Sierra and the issue remains, the monitor is reported as 3840x2160 in 'about this mac' but is listed as 5120x2880 in system information. If it's a setting issue then surely that would have been sorted by doing these fresh installs ? I feel like im the only person in the entire world who has had this issue. There is nothing on google about it at all. Frustrating. [/QUOTE]
