is a known issue for some of the Samsung Smart(?) TVs, so it is best to contact Samsung directly.
It is not only a known issue, it is perfectly legit for Samsung
to do that according to the CEA specs they follow. The problem
comes from moron programmers who persist in believing that
EDID is gospel. New crops of these programmers seem to spring
up with great regularity.
Anyway, I've thwarted them all now - I've actually provided
an EDID that meets their expectations. Maybe they won't
discover any way to break that :-).
Whatever is followed or not, is it technically correct or not, certainly it is done correctly with at least some of the monitors.
e.g.
"Screen size: 53.1 cm x 29.9 cm (23.99 inches, aspect ratio 16/9 = 1.78)"
Do not be too harsh to fellow developers, it is a difficult life. :)
