Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) is a data-structure provided by a

display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is connected to the

display’s source). The EDID enables the TP-45EDID to “know” what kind of

monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes the manufacturer’s name,

the product type, the timing data supported by the display, the display size,

luminance data and (for digital displays only) the pixel mapping data.

EDID is defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards

Association (VESA).
