    Has anyone else got one of these on Windows 10?

    I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour, but to make Windows look slightly less like arse I'm having to use 200% DPI scaling. I've installed the latest drivers from Dell, and the graphics drivers are up to date.

    Wondering if, being new to 30" monitors, there's a setup stage I've missed?

    Cheers in advance!

    We might!

    And ever more curious. 1920x1200 on HDMI is fine, displayport (mini to full) doesn't list any resolution above 640.

    Wondering if the screen is duff.

    Edit: Temporarily given up. Superscaling on the AMD side and HDMI provides an image that's usable at 2560x1600. I'll look into it more when I'm not bleeding all over it.

    ^That's weird - can't contribute anything here I'm afraid. My 3007s and 3014 run fine (all on DVI-D).

    Also, why are you bleeding on things? :worried:

    I've started wondering if it's the display port cable and DVI cables I've tried, since it's bob on with HDMI.

    I've not got a spare mini DP to regular DP to check with annoyingly.

    As for bleeding, I had to do the power board repair on it (I got it cheap because it didn't power on), and managed to cut my finger tip popping the front panel off for the second time!

    Additional update. I fear it may have been me being an utter spanner. Displayport is still playing gimpout on me, but it turns out the DVI cables I was testing with are single link.

    I'll hang my head in shame for not spotting it sooner and order a dual link to play with. D'oh!

    Edit: Funny how it works with the right cable. I'll put the dunce hat on.
