More than likely this is color profiles for the monitor.

None as far as I know. Whether features such as autorotation work  
(flipping it from landscape to portrait orientation) is dependent on  
the vide drivers, not the monitor. You don't mention what computer you  
have, and what video card you have...there are monitors on the market  
today that won't work with some of the very old Video cards in the  
earliest OS X compatible computers.
