3.2 Defining EDID

The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID

1

) is a data-structure, provided by

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

display’s source). The EDID enables the PC or laptop to “know” what kind of

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

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

and (for digital displays only) pixel mapping data.
