EdidData removed from Get-DisplayInfo

[buswedg]

Did this update get removed from the latest (6.0.0) release?

"Added new EdidData property to the output of Get-DisplayInfo which contains data read from the EDID stored in registry. The data includes: EdidVersion, Display serial number, display manufacture date."

I haven't taken a look at the code yet, but I don't see the EdidData in the output.

It's still there, it's just not shown in the default output. You can see it like this:

PS C:\> Get-DisplayInfo | select -ExpandProperty EdidData

EdidVersion SerialNumber ManufactureDate
----------- ------------ ---------------
1.4         2172833      01-01-2021 00:00:00

It's kinda rude to make such a low effort report where you simply copy+paste the raw error message like that. Why not include standard information like: Did it work before you updated the module? What was the old version? Did anything else change in your system config? Did you double check that you are actually running the version you expect?

If I can't read the EDID data I return null and Select doesn't throw that error just because the value is null so this indicates that the property is straight up missing. Since I've confirmed that the property is still there in 6.0.0 then that must mean that you are running a version from before the property was introduced. Run Get-Command Get-DisplayInfo to confirm the version.

Works for me on the latest version (serial number 0 here is expected as that output is connected to an Extron XTP system with a loop-out to the monitor and plenty of connections to different displays and projectors)

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-DisplayInfo | select -ExpandProperty EdidData
