Edid support was added with Qemu 5. Windows guests seem to not be able to get all possible resolutions if the default std VGA device is used as GPU and the VM boots in BIOS mode. The result is that only one of the following three resolutions can be configured:
800x600 1024x768 1920x1080 It is important to note that just booting a Windows VM with the edid=off parameter will not make the large list of resolutions available. It seems that Windows is caching the list of possible resolutions somewhere [0]. Uninstalling the 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter' in the device manager and rebooting the VM is one way I found to force Windows to recreate the list of possible resolutions.

Would be great if someone else could verify this as well. Not having to version guard this would be nice.
