Strange issue and I didn't know where else to turn. My u3011 died and Dell sent me a refurb but my system will not detect it as a 3011, it says 2711. I looked at the display info in the monitor menu and it reads (Resolution 2560x1440
Maxiumm Resolution 2560x1600)
Also the only aspect ratio I can choose id 16:9, the 3011 should be 16:10. Any one run across this?

I tried forcing the native 2560x1600 in the nvidia cp but it error-ed saying my monitor did not support that res.
 
Yes, display info says 3011 but system will only see it as a 2711. Same size as well, plus the 2711 native 2560x1440 is blurry and obviously not native.
 
2560x1600 @ 59.971 Hz was there already and your utility put an * next to DEL4063-Dell u3011. Does that mean it picked it up? Also nothing happened when I clicked ok and rebooted.
 
It might be a different entry. Is there a U2711 in the drop-down list?

* means an override was saved, but that shouldn't happen unless you made a change.
 
I found the service menu but there didn't seem to be anything there. Strange and frustrating.
