Please explain how to find a monitor

[licopper]

Hi!

The structure of the repository is the following:
{TYPE}/{VENDOR}/{MODEL}/{ID}
( e.g. Digital/LG Display/LGD0217/925C880E8A08 )
ID of a monitor is MD5 of EDID.

Please explain step by step how I can calculate the MD5 of a monitor's EDID.

Hi,

Why you need this? MD5 of EDID is needed only to find EDID file in the directory. You take it from the table in the README.

[linuxhw]

If you are still interested, it's just md5sum of the hex representation of the EDID file.

Hi, Thanks for the response. I was trying to find an EDID that conforms to my monitor's model in your DB. Also I've uploaded my HW report to LHW Project but I don't see my EDID in your database. Just trying to understand how it works. If it's just MD5 of hex representation of the EDID file then I don't understand how you get just 5 chars string as result. Please elaborate a bit more.

Full-length md5 doesn't fit the page width on GitHub, so it's truncated to 5 chars prefix.

What is your monitor model name?

[linuxhw]

Also please post your probe ID.

My monitor is AOC Q27P1(B). How do I get my probe ID? thanks for replying.

Usually hw-probe returns it after creating the probe:

sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload

[linuxhw]

git clone https://github.com/linuxhw/EDID.git
cd EDID
grep -nR Q27P1
