Talk:Extended Display Identification Data

The following text appeared on EDID before I merged the two articles:

The first version of EDID, 1.0, was produced in August 1994. Since then, versions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 2.0 have appeared. An enhanced version EEDID (Extended Display Identification Data) appeared in July, 2001.

This does not agree with the article, which claims 3.0 appeared in 1997. AxelBoldt 10:48, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

in milimetres, then multiply by 10 ?

In item 21 where it says "Maximum Horizontal Image Size (in millimetre). Multiply by 10 for actual value." wouldn't it sound a little less silly to say "Maximum Horizontal Image Size (in centimetre)" ? The same goes for item 22.

I was going to say the same thing. Change made. -Ahruman 09:06, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Addition Extensions

Is there some way to include later extensions to the EDID Standard such as Reference for 1.2 and 1.3

Furthermore I'd suggest to give the hex form of the given example along with its translation for developers to check if there implementations do right.

matching format to example

Seems quite confusing to match the format to the example given. Is "10-11: Product ID Code (little endian)" the "Monitor ID EPID775"? And how do you jump from a 2-byte "08-09: Manufacturer ID" to "Monitor Manufacturer: Company Name Envision, Inc."?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.186.168.130 (talk)

As explained here, Timing Descriptor 3 gives you 13 characters for manufacturer name. Not sure where the extra '.' came from at the end, that may have been the software... -- RevRagnarok ^{Talk Contrib Reverts} 14:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
