<p>Apparemment, Windows collects EDID information (Extended Display Identification Data) from all displays that were ever connected to the machine. There’s a tool from the awesome NirSoft called <a href="http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/monitor_info_view.html">MonitorInfoView</a> that can show that data:</p>
<p>At this point it was obvious for me which entry is the one Je cherche, but let’s assume J’ai un lot of entries and J’ai to narrow down the set of results. Sizes and resolutions can be viewed by double clicking list entries, how about manufacturers?</p>
<p>Manufacturer name is encoded as the manufacturer ID. Here’s how to do that manually. My monitor is manufactured by Iiyama. First, I look it up on manufacturer’s list. Here’s <a href="http://www.uefi.org/pnp_id_list">a large one</a> and <a href="https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-desktop/blob/master/libgnome-desktop/gnome-pnp-ids.c">a shorter one</a>. Find your manufacturer’s three-letter code. For Iiyama it’s <code>IVM</code>.</p>
<p>Then substitute each letter with a binary value from the list below:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">A 00001
B 00010
C 00011
D 00100
E 00101
F 00110
G 00111
H 01000
I 01001
J 01010
K 01011
L 01100
M 01101
N 01110
O 01111
P 10000
Q 10001
R 10010
S 10011
T 10100
U 10101
V 10110
W 10111
X 11000
Y 11001
Z 11010
</code></pre>
<p>For <code>IVM</code> I get:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">I 01001
V 10110
M 01101
</code></pre>
<p>Notez que one letter can appear multiple times, eg. <code>SSE</code>. Concatenate these binary values. Vous devriez get a 15-bit number:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">010011011001101
</code></pre>
<p>Now vous devez convert this to a hexadecimal number. Wolfram Alpha is always handy in such cases:</p>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=010011011001101+base+2+to+base+16">010011011001101 base 2 to base 16</a></p>
<p>Result: 26cd16</p>
<p>Now swap 1st character with 3rd one and 2nd one with 4th one:</p>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<p><code>26cd</code> → <code>cd26</code></p>
<p>Make letters uppercase and prefix with <code>0x</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">0xCD26
</code></pre>
<p>This is the value vous devriez look for in the <em>Manufacturer ID</em> column:</p>
