Well, my compact cheapo TV has got a VGA input, its a 15 inch and the native resoloution is 1280x800 but for some reason it now says that the native is 1024x768 @94hz, this causes it to say INVALID FORMAT, i need to reflash the EDID, but i dont know how, ive had this TV for a while and its annoying because i use it as a troubleshooting monitor, and with a messed up EDID it just defaults to 1024x768@94hz

Does anyone know how to reflash an EDID?

TVs tend to be really bad at stating their actual native resolution. No TV is 1280x800.

How do i know what resoloution my TV is then, i have tried looking up the model number to no avail

but the point is that the HZ is crazy high causing it to throw an error, so i want to reflash the EDID to change that

Looks like a widescreen 16:9~16:10 tape measure says that the panel is 1.56 aspect ratio which is near enough to 16:9 (88% fill)

1.56 =/= 1.6?

god damn tv manufacturers being complicated
