    I just purchased this from Dell directly (SMB). I am unable to get the proper resolution for this monitor. I wanted to run the setup at D:\drivers\setup.exe and I get this error

    "Please check if Dell 3007WFP is Plug-In!"

    Well, it IS plugged in and powered on. I see my desktop there (I have it set to dupliate view between my laptop and this monitor). The other problem is that Vista is showing it at 1280x800 max resolution. However, my laptop video card is Nvidia 8400M GT which supports the maximum resolution of this monitor.

    I'm using this cable:

    I am unable to install the driver because of the above error. I'm using Vitsa 64bit Ultimate. Please help me out.

    Nothing happens when I press + or - as well. I ran this file and rebooted, but see no changes:

    D:\drivers\3007wfp\Vista\3007wfp64.exe

    Dell has no drivers to download at all: http://support.dell.com/support/dow...emID=LCD_TV_W3007&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=

    I was told on Dell's forums this:
    My Sony laptop only has an hdmi port, not DVI.

    How can I work around this? I don't see why it should not work. It worked
    fine on my 22" samsung (hdmi to dvi).

    Would this adapter help at all?

    Or anything from here?
