What uses the size in the EDID other than the default scaling size? You can set the correct scale in the Windows display settings.

CRU doesn't have a way to edit the screen size directly, but you can export a .bin file and use another EDID editor to edit the size. Then you can import the file with "Import complete EDID" enabled to load the new size.

You can use any of these editors except Phoenix: https://www.monitortests.com/blog/list-of-edid-editors/

Thanks for the quick reply!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't windows use the size of the TV to determine the size for multiple displays? As in the area you can move your mouse between them? If not, then I don't need to change anything hahaha

No, Windows uses the resolutions. There's a tool that helps with multi-monitor mouse issues: https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you SO much!

Hey @Toastyx
Can you maybe update your Tool to include the HDR Dynamic Metadata?

it would be nice to Edit the Metadatas
SMTPE 2094-10 (Dolby Vision)
SMTPE 2094-20
SMTPE 2094-30
SMTPE 2094-40 (HDR10+)

other Tools like Deltacast E-EDID Editor can Edit them allready.. but i dont like to export.. Edit in Deltacast.. save end import in CRU to Change the HDR Dynamic Settings

I want to eventually but it's not a high priority because any monitor that supports those metadata types already includes the information, and there aren't any useful parameters that can be edited for the metadata types. The data block is also a pain to implement. The metadata types can be varying sizes because of optional fields, which Deltacast doesn't show, and I want to be able to preserve future types when editing, so I can't do it the way Deltacast is doing it. There already is a 5th type that Deltacast doesn't support.

Newbie question incoming! I'm on an RTX 2080 TI and a new LG C1 55 inch - mainly used for gaming.

At the moment I am running full 4K@120hz 8bit 4:2:0 (due to 2080ti not being HDMI 2.1). However, for some games I find the 16:9 format to be not optimal and I would like to reduce the resolution to 3840x1800@120hz, so that there are black bars above and below the actual picture.

I have spent hours trying to figure out what the settings should be in CRU, but I am unable to hit anything that works.

Any help or hint is appreciated!

I have attached screenshot and .bin-file, if it assists.

Currently, there's no way to create custom 4:2:0 resolutions, and I don't think NVIDIA's GPU scaling works with 4:2:0 resolutions. One way to know if GPU scaling is possible is check if 2560x1600 @ 120 Hz is available by default. If only 60 Hz is available, then it's not possible. If it is available, then I have something you can try.

I am a HTPC user, and would like to tweak my 23.976 resolutions to try and get as close to audio clock as possible so that I don't have any dropped/repeated frames with MadVR.

I don't mind using CRU or even the Nvidia custom resolution tool, but I have a serious problem: I Don't know what the heck any of the values mean aside from resolution and refresh rate.

Porches, blanking etc etc.... Especially with the CRU tool, I have literally no idea what I am doing.

The Nvidia default for 23.976 is pretty close - 1 dropped frame every 50 or so minutes. Which I can live with if there is not an easy way to test some other custom res.

I tried using the pixel clock calculator, but don't know what to do with the values that I got. (https://www.monitortests.com/pixelclock....rtvlines=1)

My setup: HTPC (Nvidia 3080 driver version 456.71), Denon X3400H receiver, Sony 285ES 4k Projector.

UPDATE: I tried adding a detailed resolution with CRU. It added the resolution under the PC section of the Nvidia resolutions. When I select it, and apply, it blanks for a second, saying it is applied, but then just shows the resolution selected as the one up under HD, SD, 1080p section of the Nvidia drivers.

I don't mind using the Nvidia custom resolution tool, but need to know how to convert the information the web page is telling me.

The porches and sync widths don't matter much. The main limitation is the pixel clock in the EDID can only be a multiple of 0.01 MHz, so changing the blanking/totals lets you make smaller adjustments to the refresh rate. The pixel clock calculator gives you the pixel clock and totals needed to achieve a certain refresh rate.

Hello there, I'm using SONY x900f TV connected to PC via HDMI 2.0.
With some tweaks I'm able to use 2928x1647 resolution at 120hz without frame skipping and artifacts (but without sound from internal speakers), used settings attached (I found them accidentally).
Is there any way to go even higher with the same frame rate? With 2944x1656@120hz I'm getting 606.01 pixel clock on the same settings, a little overdo.
