Retrieving display vendor name
Hello everyone!
Have a couple of tricky questions here
1. Is there a way to get the vendor name of the installed PnP monitor?
2. Is there a way to get the vendor name of the installed PnP monitor having its Vendor ID and Product Identifier from the EDID data block?
Thanks,
Gennadii

If you referring to the name you see in the device manager, then this article ( http://www.codeproject.com/treectrl/DeviceTree.asp?df=100&forumid=36935&exp=0&select=931309) might help you.

Thanks for reply! :thumb:
I launched the application from the link that you posted here. It shows exactly the same information as Windows Device Manager. In fact, the monitors are shown there under labels "Default Monitor"/"Plug and Play Monitor". What I need is the string with the manufacturer name.
I did manage to extract PnP vendor ID (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pnppwr/pnp/pnpid.mspx) from the monitor EDID (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDID) data structure. But now I have no idea how to get some human-readable manufacturer name from it... :confused:
