[GTALUG] Aging Dell monitor (U3011)

[Erich Welz]

Most DVI cables (single link) max out at 1920x1200.

Older versions of the HDMI spec didn't support above 1920x1200, so that
could also be suspect.

My guess is the only way to get 2560x1600 out of that monitor is via
DisplayPort or dual-link DVI cable
