I am seeing the same faulty behaviour with Iiyama's ProLite E2208HDS monitors. This string is used:

Liyama North America 22"

The proper name should read something like this:

Iiyama ProLite E2208HDS

Interestingly, the string does seem to get reported properly by some tools. The disper monitor switching utility (https://launchpad.net/~disper-dev/+archive/ppa) when run with the -l flag, reports this string:

Idek Iiyama PLE2208HDS

Which is fairly close to what it actually says on the monitor. This monitor was bought in the Netherlands.
