** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * There is a number of display devices that misuse the width & height field in EDID. Instead of real size in centimeters it contains encoded aspect ratio (e.g. 1600x900, 16x10, 160x90). + This leads to incorrect calculation of diagonal for the purpose of e.g. Unity settings app. + + [Test Case] + + 1. Connect a display device that provides incorrect EDID data (e.g. LG 49UB850T-DA TV). + 2. Open the Displays section of Unity settings. + 3. Look for the newly connected display. + + [Regression Potential] + + * This affects the way the display name will be formatted for any + software using unity-settings-daemon. If anything is testing/comparing + display names - it may fail. + + [Other Info] + + * Original bug description: + After connecting a LG 49UB850T-DA TV the following information is displayed in the unity-control-center: Goldstar Company Ltd 72" It's misleading since neither the company name nor the diagonal matches.
