<lazy>Can you please link the EDID specification, I just looked on wikipedia 
which is not quite authoritative</lazy>

The changes look logical to me assuming the fields represent the values I think 
they do (based on wikipedia).  Still, I'm confused about this > 2006 issue.  Is 
that somewhere in the spec?  What if firmware updates cause the display to 
support EDID v1.4 but it was manufactured in 2005?

To check for <1.4, you should change "edid[0x13] < 4" to "(edid[0x12] == 1 && 
edid[0x13] < 4)" ... your existing check would not work for EDID version 2.0.

If you change the 1.4 check (and that matches the spec), or if you remove the 
1.4 check,
