Funny how this landed the same day as ESR's rant about Dell UltraSharp resolution modes (different model) through various connectors. http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p

At least the 3214 notes that HDMI can't drive it to full capacity. Guess the lesson is "use DisplayPort".
- ericabiz 13y agoNot just Dell. I have two ASUS PB278Q (27", 2560x1440) and they have the same problem. It so threw me when I got the first one that I ended up having to overnight a Mini Displayport->Displayport cable from Amazon Prime to drive it. They work fine on Displayport. Seems any high-res monitor is doing that these days--I do wish the manufacturers would be more upfront about it, but is it really worth it to threaten "15K social media followers...give Dell a public black eye about it" when the solution is a $6 cable?
- ibrahima 13y agoThat's a problem with the HDMI standard, not with the monitor specifically. The cheaper random manufacturer monitors do things like run the electronics out of spec to get away with things like higher resolution support or 120hz on IPS. Yes, just use DisplayPort, it's just better.
