I ran the xedid script but it did not allow me to use the monitor in
question. (I have an irun ZT-SH270QHD.)

Your EDID is probably invalid.

Running xedid as root produces no output and exits with code 0.
Rebooting after running the script has no effect.

Title:
   *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 161

Status in “xdiagnose” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This computer is connected to its monitor via a VGA KVM.  The display
  looks fine but dmesg is filled with EDID errors:

  Graphics tends to also break on the system after a while.  I think it
  may occur after switching to and from another system or something but
  haven't pinned that down.
