One LCD, rather old, built January 2003, but purchased by me off eBay only this year, that I use on a 24/7 machine has good EDID, which really wasn't that new even back then. Is yours even older?
I too don't like TVs sold as puter displays. Less wide 16:10 models were still about last I looked, just less common than baby TVs.
Yours wasn't 4:3 either. 1280x1024 is 5:4, which still exists online, though uncommonly in retail stores: http://tinyurl.com/3lrubvu
4:3 still can be had in 1600x1200 http://tinyurl.com/43yxfgz while to replace what I'm using to write this with ATM would require http://www.provantage.com/lg-electronics-l2000ce~7LGEL04K.htm or equivalent, rather less common but not yet dead.
I'm not sure I can recall ever seeing any LCD lacking separable cords, but as you say, yours is old.
No Sandy Bridge support in anything so old. To get something other than 1024x768 or worse you'd need something released this year, preferably post-11.4.

This is not a new monitor. I bought it when LCD monitors were still
quite novel. Perhaps the necessity for a monitor to send its biography
to its host hadn't yet been realized.

Maybe what I really need is a new
monitor. Except that they no longer come with a 4x3 aspect ratio, which
is a bummer.

I can't swap, end for end or otherwise; there is no connector at the
monitor end, it's connected permanently.

Yes, I have a live Ubuntu 8.
