Who uses them? I don't. I let my GPU handle all that, colors, gamma, resolution etc etc.
Technically those aren't drivers anyway...

They are simple text files telling the OS which resolution options to offer in the control panel. They don't handle the communication between the monitor and the PC, which is what a driver would do.

I'm pretty sure some monitors come with proper drivers, allowing you to for example do aspect ratio scaling by the monitor rather than the GPU.

Unless you have a monitor that is extremely *old* or has some special functionality like a built-in subatomic gene splicer, you most likely don't need it.

On a more interesting note, I have a co-worker who still loves to bathe in the radiation of a classic CRT monitor and had to install drivers for the monitor when they upgraded him to Windows 8 at work. Most likely to inform the hardware of its resolution capabilities, vertical sync, etc as it couldn't communicate back like modern monitors do these days.
