Modifying EDID in a display
If the EEPROM in the display is writable, you can write a new EDID to the device. Follow
the procedure to overwrite the EDID structure stored in the connected display device with
a new EDID structure.
Important: Be sure to save a backup copy of the EDID stored on the display device.
