I thought I could post about them so it may help others. It's the same model 2408WFP, but there are a few important differences. Got my second replacement monitor from Dell, it fixed every single problem I had with the other one. SwitchResX is a work around, a good one, but it not a solution for a faulty monitor.Īnyway, thanks for the comments and the support Dkaardal. I'll see then if the EDID profile is corrupted (or whatever the problem is) on the other one. After a while, he agreed (again) to send me (another, it's my third) replacement monitor, which I will get latter this week. So I told him to look it up on Dell's website. I found out a couple of minute latter that HE DIDN'T KNOW A THING about Displayport connectors. does it look like a USB connector?" I didn't undesratnd at first and told him it looks like a Displayport connector. Then he connected me with a «senior technician» who asked me right away : "This Displayport. It was funny, really : I told him to check it out either on the Displayport website or on Wikipedia. The guy said he spoke to a specialist and was told that 640x480 is the DEFAULT RESOLUTION FOR DISPLAYPORT. they call me back half an hour latter to tell me the replacement was cancel. Finally they accepted to send me a replacement monitor. They tried to put the blame on the cable (I tried with two different cable) and the computer (I also tried with different computers and another Dell 2408WFP monitor).

successfully connect my Macbook Pro Unibody 13" to my Dell 2408WFP monitor via a mini-Displayport to Displayport cable.īut wait, here's the funny part. I used it to setup a custom profile that I'm now using to. First of all, thank you for the tips : using SwitchResX I was able to export the EDID profile form another Mac I own. (700w PS, latest MOBO BOIS, 5870 BIOS appears to be latest version)Īny assistance would be very much appreciated. I'm using the cable that originally came with the monitor, if that helps. All resolution options are greyed out, and only 640x480 is even listed.ĭVI works fine, it's just the Displayport that seems to be borked.

This happens even after installing the 3008 WFP drivers in windows. Of note, the monitor gets detected as either "non plug and play monitor' or as a "Mobile PC monitor".

Tried an earlier version of the drivers, as well as another clean install of the OS. This is the first time anything has ever been connected to the displayport, so even if that port has the same habit of corrupting it's EDID info as the DVI ports do, I'd be surprised if that was the culprit. No other resolutions are listed, and in fact that one itself is greyed out. When I connect the Dell 30" monitor to my new 5870 graphicscard via Displayport, the monitor is stuck at 640x480. Maybe Dell can shed some light on this.Ĭatalyst 10.1 (latest) drivers - clean install
