    I don't know if such an app exists, but, if so, you might find it here.

    I'm curious... :p

    The only solution I've come up with so far is installing Windows on another partition tthrough Boot Camp and using PCWizard thereafter which I don't want to do :(

    ioreg -l

    will give you more info than you could ever imagine!

    you can pipe it to a text file

    ioreg -l > myinfo.txt

    and have a look there. every component of your individual machine will be there

    if you would like the exact model number of your panel:
    try:
    ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
