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.
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?
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 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 can't swap, end for end or otherwise; there is no connector at the monitor end, it's connected permanently.
I'm not sure I can recall ever seeing any LCD lacking separable cords, but as you say, yours is old.
Yes, I have a live Ubuntu 8.
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. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
