As I recall, it's GND, the two I2C pins plus a power pin intended for the
Computer powering the I2C EEPROM in the Monitor even if the Monitor is off.
Regarding the power pin, it's like SCSI TERMPWR: It's clearly specified and
utterly simple (only source it via a diode, power the terminator from it)
but nearly every vendor gets it wrong in interesting ways.
