What is DDC?

Soffy for newbie question but what is DDC? The omega drivers FAQ says to disable DDC on ATI Display/Monitor page. I don't see anything like that on Display or Monitor page.

Edit: nvm, I found it. You need to click on 'Monitor' button on Displays and then you get an Attributes tab.

Short form for Display Data Channel. It is a VESA standard for communication between a monitor and a video adapter. Using DDC, a monitor can inform the video card about its properties, such as maximum resolution and color depth. The video card can then use this information to ensure that the user is presented with valid options for configuring the display.
