The horizontal Addressable Video in pixels and Vertical Addressable Video in lines fields in the EDID 1.4/1.3 structures are limited to a value in the range of 0-4095. For 5k monitors and higher resolutions how can this limitation be exceeded?
I haven't been able to find any information in the specs or other documents. Any help is appreciated.
The EDID standard was updated to support Short Video Descriptors in the CEA Extension Block. SVDs include an index into a table of resolutions. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Display_Identification_Data
