Get the physical size of a monitor

Post by jacdelad »

Is it possible to determine the physical size of a monitor, like 7" or 24"?

A few years ago, we figured out how to determine the physical size of the monitor. We used different programs (DumpEDID.exe) to take information from the monitor. Some monitors did not give out such information, perhaps it was not stitched into the monitor. Since this was necessary for the LiveCD, another option is to pull the data from the OS registry.

Maybe it will help in some way?
