Injecting EDID: Lifesaver or waste of time?

I've set up a macOS Sonoma on my PC. It has an i7-7700 and HD Graphics 630.

My monitor is an ancient Dell display with a resolution of 1440x900.

macOS Settings doesn't have any 16:10 resolutions, so I tried infinite 3rd-party tools, but none worked well. I realized that even when I manually set the resolution to 1440x900, the monitor thinks it's 800x600 (ouch). The interesting part is that when I set display resolution via macOS Settings, the monitor at least recognizes it correctly, so stretching it to fit (which is not good for the eyes).

After hours of investigation, I noticed that the problem is because macOS simply can't recognize my display resolution and settings correctly, falling back to default 16:9 resolutions.

With all of these being said, do you think that patching the EDID and manually adding my resolution make it work?

Like always, thanks for not leaving newcomers alone 😊.
