NOTE THe monitor and mode resoloutions are dependant on what system YOU HAVE. I have 2 identical dell monitors, so i can use the same Monitor config, people with 2 separate ones wil have to have 2 monitor configs.

The only reason I dropped a point is that it doesn't have a native driver. However, the 315 driver works great for me.
