This looks like your LG TV either does not provide EDID information via HDMI
connector, or otherwise behaves in a special way which makes reading EDID
fail.

Did you try the TV on some other computer to check if EDID can be read there
(e.g. with nvidia/amd GPU and matching open/closed driver)?

Also make sure the TV is on (neither off nor on stand-by) as some TVs
disable too much of connector interface in those states.

Note, usually `lspci -nn` is more informative as it also provides vendor/device
IDs in addition to nice names.
