Questions about 2007FPW

[lmnop]

I just received my Dell 2007FPW today and it looks great. I just have a few questions.

1) How do I switch to the 4:3 aspect ratio? When I go to "Display Settings" on the onscreen menu I can see the option, but I cannot choose it. I am connected through DVI, do I need to be connected through VGA? My graphics card is a 7900GT

2) How can I tell if I have a Rev A02?

3) When playing Unreal Tournament 99 in 1680x1050, sometimes the outter most edge of the left and top screen will be different colors/etc. I'd assume this is not normal? It isn't very noticeable and I'm not too concerned about it, just wondering what it is or if it's fixable (I assume not).

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase. There are 2 dead pixels, but aren't really noticeable unless looking for them, and very very minor backlight bleeding.

1. I don't know if I am correct on this on, but I believe that you can only get 4:3 aspect ratio if you are in multimedia mode or gaming mode, not in desktop mode which you are presumably in if using DVI as your input.

2. If you look on the back of the monitor, where the serial code is, you will see that it says Revision A00, A01, or A02.

3. I don't play UT so I have no input for this.

You need to open up a game first and then the option will no longer be greyed out. You do not need to switch modes for this.
