EDID Repository

This is a repository of decoded EDIDs from various digital and analog monitors collected by Linux users at https://linux-hardware.org.

Everyone can contribute to this repository by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool:

EDIDs of all connected monitors will be uploaded to the database and repository.

TIP: discuss your monitors and EDIDs on our forum

About

The structure of the repository is the following:

{TYPE}/{VENDOR}/{MODEL}/{ID}

( e.g. Digital/LG Display/LGD0217/925C880E8A08 )

ID of a monitor is MD5 of EDID.

How to install EDID file

Generate binary EDID file:

cat EDID.txt | grep -E '^([a-f0-9]{32}|[a-f0-9 ]{47})$' | tr -d '[:space:]' | xxd -r -p > EDID.bin

Verify it by edid-decode:

edid-decode EDID.bin

Install EDID.bin by write-edid or edid-rw.

How to regenerate data

Regenerate all the data by new edid-decode:

find . -type f -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*/[A-F0-9]{12}$' -print0 | while read -r -d '' file; do cat "$file" | grep -E '^([a-f0-9]{32}|[a-f0-9 ]{47})$' | edid-decode-2023-05-07 -c --skip-sha > /tmp/file; cat /tmp/file > "$file"; done
find . -type f -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*/[A-F0-9]{12}$' -print0 | while read -r -d '' file; do sed -i -e "s/Serial Number: .*/Serial Number: .../g" "$file"; done

Digital display

You can find decoded EDIDs for listed monitors in the repository by vendor name, model and ID.
