I have also verified unity-settings-daemon 15.04.1+16.04.20160701-0ubuntu3 for Xenial.
After connecting a faulty-EDID display - I saw the product name. With a display device with correct dimensions in EDID - screen diagonal in inches was displayed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to hwdata in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1755490 Title: Incorrect information about display shown in gnome/unity-control- center Status in gnome-desktop3 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in hwdata package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-desktop3 source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in hwdata source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in unity-settings-daemon source package in Trusty: Invalid Status in hwdata source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in unity-settings-daemon source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in hwdata source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in unity-settings-daemon source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in hwdata source package in Cosmic: Fix Committed Status in unity-settings-daemon source package in Cosmic: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] * There is a number of display devices that misuse the width & height field in EDID. Instead of real size in centimeters it contains encoded aspect ratio (e.g. 1600x900, 16x10, 160x90). This leads to incorrect calculation of diagonal for the purpose of e.g. Unity settings app. [Test Case] 1. Connect a display device that provides incorrect EDID data (e.g. LG 49UB850T-DA TV). 2. Open the Displays section of Unity settings. 3. Look for the name of the newly connected display in the settings window. Expected result: Display name should contain its real diagonal or model name (if dimensions are not availabe). Actual result: Display name contains a ridiculous diagonal (e.g. 72" in case of a 49" display). [Regression Potential] * This affects the way the display name will be formatted for any software using unity-settings-daemon. If anything is testing/comparing display names - it may fail. [Other Info] * Original bug description: After connecting a LG 49UB850T-DA TV the following information is displayed in the unity-control-center: Goldstar Company Ltd 72" It's misleading since neither the company name nor the diagonal matches.
