The (above) being the sort of thing you expect when the EDID can't be
read, because it is connected through a KVM, for instance.  A generic
entry.

And what you'd expect when the EDID can be read.  An entry related to
the particular monitor.

You didn't say whether, for this test, you had gone to the trouble of
repatching your monitor, or left it running through your KVM.

Surely, one of these days, someone's going to create a KVM that clones
the details of the monitor's EDID to all the computer monitor ports?
