1. A method for establishing what format video is received from a source of video, comprising:
- dynamically establishing at least one parameter associated with a user-preferred format in at least one memory of a video display system; and
communicating at least the parameter to the source to cause the source to send video to the display system in the desired format.

Abstract
Preferred format parameters including timing that is contained in an extended display information data (EDID) EEPROM in a digital video display system can be dynamically established by a user. In this way, when the video display system engages a source of video in a “plug and play” context, instead of communicating to the source what formats are supported and then accepting a format selected by the source, the preferred format is sent from the EEPROM to the source so that the video display system receives video from the source in the user-desired format.

7. A video display system including at least one processor and at least one format information storage apparatus, the processor executing logic comprising:
-
presenting, to a user, a visual display;
permitting the user to use the visual display to define a preferred video format; and
programming the information storage apparatus such that the information storage apparatus can indicate to a source of video the preferred video format such that the source sends video to the display system in the preferred video format. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A video display source, comprising:
at least one processor receiving information from a video display system, the information including at least one parameter established in response to a user selecting a preferred display format, the processor causing the source to send video data to the video display system only in the user-preferred display format in response to the parameter. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
