+EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a VESA standard data format
+that contains information about a monitor and its capabilities.
+
+The information is stored in the monitor and is used to communicate with the
+system through a Display Data Channel (DDC), which sites between the monitor
+and the PC graphics adapter.
+
+Inspired from:
