There is a secret service menu hidden away from the prying eyes of consumers. This service menu will contain the panel type most of the time. To access said panel, simply lower both the brightness and the contrast to 0 using the regular user control panel. Exit the menu, and then bring it back up again. After you have done this hold the source button down for 5 seconds. This will bring up the service menu.



xAx-xxxx : Samsung panel.
xLx-xxxx : AU Optronics panel.
xDx-xxxx : CMO panel.
xIx-xxxx : CPT panel.

Where Samsng panel is the best and CMO and CPT worst.

So its quite possible that you two have totaly different monitors.
Yes, my service screen says Flt Panel: CMO220Z1
Code is ...BDA-xxxx



I believe this C panel is the most used.
