Anyone owns or can get access to a Samsung SyncMaster B2230 Monitor?

I need it's real-time Digital (DVI) EDID. It will take just a couple of minutes to capture the EDID.

Let me know. I will explain the steps to capture.

hmm. .for my info. can you explain what that means?? i mean i know the DVI connectivity option. but what does realtime Digital EDID mean???

and B2230 is just an upgrade in size and resolution over the B2030!! so do you think whatever you're trying to find out will be the same on both the monitors???

You will have to read what EDID is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display_identification_data

It's very device/model specific specially between devices which differ in native resolutions. So yeh, EDID between B2030 & B2230 will be different. And I do have access to a B2030 monitor (which is of no use to me).

Great.

Below are the steps.

1. Disconnect any VGA cable connected to the monitor.

2. Connect it with a "DVI to DVI" cable from the computer. I mean no VGA to DVI converters. Or, connect it with a "HDMI to DVI" cable. Absolutely no VGA (Analog) connections/connectors.

3. Download Monitor Asset Manager (443 KB) program from here http://www.entechtai...les/moninfo.exe

4. Install the above program. Do not select "Run Moninfo when Setup finishes" at the last step of installation process.

5. Reboot the computer.

6. Run "Monitor Asset Manager".

7. On the top left panel under "Display IDs", there should be an entry something like "SAM063F [Real-time 0x0081]". It should be selected by default. Do not click/select anything like "[Registry-Active]" or "[Registry]" or "[Sample]" or "[File]".

8. Click File --> Save as. Select "DI binary filed (*.bin)" from the "Save as type:" drop-down and save it.

9. Click File --> Save as. Select "Intel hex files (*.hex)" from the "Save as type:" drop-down and save it.

10. Click File --> Save MIF. Select "MIF files (*.mif)" from the "Save as type:" drop-down and save it.

11. Click File --> Create INF. Select "INF files (*.inf)" from the "Save as type:" drop-down and save it.

12. Click File --> Save report. Select "Text report (*.txt)" from the "Save as type:" drop-down and save it.

13. Click on the right panel under "Asset Information". Click Edit --> Select all. All the text on the right panel should be selected. Click Edit --> Copy and paste it in Notepad. Save the (.txt) in Notepad.

14. Zip all the files saved (Step#8 to Step#13), and post it.

That's it.
