3.1 EDID
EDID can read the “Extended Display Identification Data” information from the
connected display devices. EDID is a data structure provided by digital displays to
describe its capabilities to a video source. It enables a personal computer to know
what kind of monitor is connected to it and thus the capabilities of the identified
monitor.
