Make sure you have the xorg-x11-utils RPM installed, then do
xrandr --prop
In the output, look for something like:
EDID:

relating to the output of your active screen. Copy JUST the hex data to
a temporary file and convert it all to one line. Once you've done that,
then do
edid-decode /path/to/temp/file
and you'll see what the monitor reports itself as. Using the above data,
edid-decode says this about my monitor:

Hope that helps. Keep in mind that edid-decode can only decode EDID
codes it knows about.
