im tweaking a Radeon graphics option "Color Depth" (color_depth) from Adrenalin in registry and it adds a key with the monitors EDID in the string

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0001\DAL3_DATA\common\EDID_14937_4166_D32h-J09_12

is there a way to query any monitors EDID so the tweak can be universal for all monitors?

Download Aida64 and go to the Monitor section to see all monitor data. You can copy any value you want or extract to plain text or HTML file.

when running "get-wmiobject -class win32_desktopmonitor | select-object SerialNumber", it reads blank. theres no info present. how could this be? amd is able to find it. the PNPDeviceID is not what the reg key uses.

using the MonitorInfoView program, the numbers are the ManufacturerID and the ProductID in that order. i guess certain monitors, especially TV ones might not have a serial number. fortunately the reg key doesnt use it.

trying to query the ManufacturerID and ProductID with get-wmiobject still shows blank. im not sure why i cant query the info
