Philips 55PUS6262 EDID fix

README.md

Why

Philips 55PUS6262 is a 4k TV that reports 1080p as its primary (native) resolution over HDMI in EDID. Because of that, macOS does not recognize it as capable of "retina mode" and DPI scaling does not work.

What

This is a patched EDID that changes the primary resolution to 60Hz 4k. Use at your own risk.

Having problems with my android tv (Mi Box S) which connects as 4k on my pc monitor but not when plugging it in to my 55PUS6262, the option just doesn't show at all. Have you got a better explanation of how to install this patch maybe via usb update or another method?. Thank you.

@davidbxrch this patch is to make the TV work with macOS, I have no idea how to do any of that on Android, sorry.
