read-edid

hardware information-gathering tool for VESA PnP monitors

read-edid consists of two tools: get-edid uses a VESA VBE 2 interrupt service routine request to read a 128 byte EDID version 1 structure from your graphics card, which retrieves this information from the monitor via the Data Display Channel (DDC). get-edid uses architecture-specific methods for querying the video hardware (real-mode x86 instructions on i386, Open Firmware device tree parsing on PowerMac) and is therefore only available for i386 and powerpc architectures. parse-edid parses this data structure and outputs data suitable for inclusion into the XFree86 or X.org configuration file. It is available for any architecture.

Install the latest version of parse-edid in Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Kali and Raspbian from terminal. To install the parse-edid just copy the above command for your OS and run into terminal. After you run the command it will grab the latest version of parse-edid from the respository and install it in your computer/server.
