We use at work very good 4:3 monitors by Dome (but they are very expensive)

Anyway, VESA really has function for obtaining EDID info. F.e. my VenomGFX library uses it and decides which resolution and refresh frequency can use.
However it is sometimes very wrong implemented, mainly on notebooks.
The direct access via I2C is possible but it is chipset dependend (because it is not communication processor-monitor but videochip-monitor).

Unfortunately VESA implementation od EDID allows only reading info - not writing info for f.e. color calibration.
