EDID is used to transmit the make, model and
characteristics of a monitor to the display adapter of the
computer. It is also used by an HDTV to identify it's
maximum resolution to the DVD player, A/V receiver or
video processor. Use a flat head screwdriver to rotate the
Mode Dial to select amongst the options.
