[Bug 1755490] Re: Incorrect information about display shown in unity-control-center
** Description changed: [Impact] * There is a number of display devices that misuse the width & height field in EDID. Instead of real size in centimeters it contains encoded aspect ratio (e.g. 1600x900, 16x10, 160x90). This leads to incorrect calculation of diagonal for the purpose of e.g. Unity settings app. [Test Case] 1. Connect a display device that provides incorrect EDID data (e.g. LG 49UB850T-DA TV). 2. Open the Displays section of Unity settings. 3. Look for the name of the newly connected display in the settings window. Expected result: - Display name should contain it's real diagonal. + Display name should contain its real diagonal or model name (if dimensions are not availabe). Actual result: Display name contains a ridiculous diagonal (e.g. 72" in case of a 49" display). [Regression Potential] * This affects the way the display name will be formatted for any software using unity-settings-daemon. If anything is testing/comparing display names - it may fail. [Other Info] * Original bug description: After connecting a LG 49UB850T-DA TV the following information is displayed in the unity-control-center: Goldstar Company Ltd 72" It's misleading since neither the company name nor the diagonal matches. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755490 Title: Incorrect information about display shown in unity-control-center To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hwdata/+bug/1755490/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After examining raw EDID data from 2 different LG TVs I can see that both of them set bytes 21 and 22 of the EDID data in a wrong way. They both state that the display size is 160x90 cm which in turn corresponds to a approximately 72" diagonal. So unity-settings-daemon does its job correctly and EDID from LG is buggy.
