I wanted a .bin file, but this has the information I need. The only problem I see is the monitor says there's an extension block when there isn't one, but the Catleap/QNIX monitors have the same problem, and those monitors work with NVIDIA cards, although they did have similar black screen issues with certain driver versions until NVIDIA fixed the problem.

Have you tried anything with CRU? Setting a custom extension block would fix the EDID, but I don't think that will work if the monitor isn't detected properly. This seems like a driver issue that NVIDIA needs to fix.

I don't think the EDID is write-protected on these monitors, so you might be able to fix the problem by using CRU to export an EDID with no extension block and flashing the EDID using one of these methods: http://www.blurbusters.com/zero-motion-b...dware-mod/

Thanks for the reply Toastyx,

What would you do if you were me? Flash the display with the EDID after removing the empty extension block (if I understood that correctly) or try to tell Nvidia about this?

EDIT: concerning EDID programming what about software called EDID programmer? I used it to flash an LG L245WP from within windows the other day. Here is a link to it: http://pg-anatolich.narod.ru/EDIDProgrammer_v1.2.1.zip

EDIT: can .bin files be renamed .edid? EDIDprogrammer can read and write .edid and CRU exports in .bin

I don't know what you linked, but that EDID program says the 30 day period has expired and won't run.

I know you can use Linux to run the file "write-edid.sh" (that was packed in a write-edid.zip file with someone who was having trouble flashing their edid with the more easily obtainable edid-rw Linux file.

The regular edid-rw file is downloaded through a Linux / Ubuntu shell here:

sudo apt-get install python-smbus edid-decode
and ./edid-rw X | edid-decode as shown on the link ToastyX linked.

I had a problem where EDID-RW failed to write the EDID on my VG248QE even though I removed the write protect (by enabling burn-in mode in the service menu). It would just write and do nothing.

But write-edid.sh after compiled with the required libraries worked perfectly.
But I already had an EDID backup to use it in the first place (I had two VG248QE's and one of them had a Benq XL2720Z EDID (don't ask how, trust me, don't ask )
