Hi All;
I have a Dell Ultrasharp 30" monitor, model 3007wfp.
The screen is in great shape and the self test (RGBW shows great pixel performance). Brightness is great, etc.
Problem is I can't get it to go into full resolution mode. It's stuck at 1280x800. Monitor performs well at the lower resolution but of course that doesn't do it for me...
I have tried lots of debug so I think it's the monitor. Any ideas would be welcome.
To summarize my debug efforts; first I'm sure I have a dual link cable and a system capable of displaying 2560x1600. Video card is an ATI 7870HD. The only connector on the monitor is a DVI-D connector.
I have tried the following:
I think I have to tear it apart and go looking.
Suggestions?

I have tried the following:
1) Running the identical system (computer, video card, cable) with a Dell U3011 (also 30", just the next newest model) and achieving 2560x1600. This tells me my system is capable of doing it and that the cable and video card are capable of that resolution.
2) Two different DVI-D (dual link) cables.
3) Both the Dual link DVI port on my video card and both Mini-Display ports.
4) Three different mini-displayport adapters (ATI certified, Apple and BlueRigger)
5) Both a PC (as mentioned above) and a MAC pro.
