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:

The video card port that the monitor is connect to must be a DVI-D Dual Link connector to get 2560x1600. If not, you will only get 1280x800.

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?

I was told that I need a dual link dvi cable.

Is this good? Its a dual link dvi, but not sure about the hdmi. How do I know what type hdmi port my Sony laptop has? Their site does not mention anything about this and I won't bother asking their lame support.

Someone on Dell's forum said the hdmi has to be dual link as well (29 pin).

right, for that much resolution it needs dual link to carry the extra video bandwidth. If you go to graphics properites, does it say default monitor or the model of the screen? My LG 19" came with a driver CD (YES, DISPLAYS REQUIRE DRIVER CARDS!) so i could unlock the higher resolutions.

Sorry for bumping a super-old thread, but I have the same exact issue.

I have 2 Dell 3007WFP-HC.

The older one is slightly (slightly) warmer in tone. The newer one (got it today) is cooler and just has a new look to it.

Anyways, I could never get the control panel thing setup w/ EITHER of these monitors.

I have dual-link thing and everything. I use a 3x285 in TRI SLI setup.

Any ideas? It keeps telling my the monitor is not plugged in, when I attempt to run 'setup.exe' from the CD Dell gave me w/ the monitors.

Bump again, I got the setup.exe to work, because I foolishly did not have the USB connected from the monitor to my PC.

However, when I am @ 99.9%, it asks me to 'Insert Disc 1' as if there was more than 1 disc...

When I hit 'Ok' it simply brings this message up again and now I cannot complete installation - any ideas?

When in sli you can only run one monitor. You would have to disable sli to enable more monitors.
