# wxedid(1)

Graphical editor for EDID data presented by computer displays

## NAME

wxEDID - Graphical editor for EDID data presented by computer displays

## SYNOPSIS

**wxedid** \[**-t**\] *file*

## DESCRIPTION

wxEDID is a wxWidgets based editor for Extended Display Identification Data (EDID). It operates on offline files that can be flashed to a monitor using the technique described here ⟨https://wiki.debian.org/RepairEDID⟩.

This tool can modify the base EDID v1.3+ structure and the CEA/CTA-861-G, as the first extension block. The program also provides a DTD constructor to aid with the selection of suitable timings.

The tool can import and export EDID data in binary blob and in hexadecimal formats.

## ARGUMENT

As its sole argument, the program accepts a file with EDID information to be edited.

## OPTIONS

- **-t, --text**

  Assume the *file* argument is a DTD text file (and not binary EDID data)

## SEE ALSO

## BUGS

No known bugs.
