I am developing a VB application in which i need to know the native resolution of the monitor and not the one set by the user(current resolution). So i need to read the EDID (extended display identification data) directly from the monitor.
I did try to find the resolution of monitor through some programs…but all it returns is the current resolution. Any help to read the info directly from EDID of monitor is appriciable.
Thanks in advance
For some source code (although C/C++) to read the EDID block see Point 5 at this link. The only official means to retrieve this information through Windows Setup API.
For an EDID format description see for example here.
