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 :-).
I would like to pose I hope a simple question. If you desire something
different than the default computed from the EDID data, what can you do.
Unix variants have always had a configuration file with preferences that
allow one to override the default. I think you said you made your own
EDID. Where did you put it so the system pays attention. When the Gnome
display manager configures the monitor, where does it put that data?
Where in the process is the EDID read. I do not use Gnome and am looking
for a way to get back to the flexibility xorg.conf provided. When I
tried to run X -configure it referred me to "Please consult the Fedora
Project support at http://wiki.x.org"; web page that described the old
xorg.conf setups. Fedora is becoming too opaque to be useful:-(
Fedora only use what is already generally defined.
For the umpteenth time, :)

drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<file>
Broken monitors, graphic adapters and KVMs may
send no or incorrect EDID data sets. This parameter
allows to specify an EDID data set in the
/lib/firmware directory that is used instead.
Generic built-in EDID data sets are used, if one of
edid/1024x768.bin, edid/1280x1024.bin,
edid/1680x1050.bin, or edid/1920x1080.bin is given
and no file with the same name exists. Details and
instructions how to build your own EDID data are
available in Documentation/EDID/HOWTO.txt. An EDID
data set will only be used for a particular connector,
if its name and a colon are prepended to the EDID
name.
