Oh sorry you just hold 1 + 3 and then press the power button, don't release them, and once it turns on the service menu is on the left side, sometimes it vanishes instantly but do it a couple times and it will appear for sure. Can you take a screenshot of both all of your service menus? I'd like to compare versions. Thanks!

It's function buttons, counting from top to bottom, ignoring joystick. Power button is located below on the right side.
- Power off the monitor.
- While holding buttons 1 and 3, press power button once to power on the monitor, keep holding 1 and 3 until image with factory/service menu appears on screen. Sometimes menu disappears when buttons 1 and 3 are released. In this case repeat the process.
Not much in there tho. I'd like to see "disable boot logo" option to cut on boot time.

Figured it out, thank you. Though couldn't find the boot option? Wouldn't mind that off.
Here is mine:

Those of you who are still using this monitor, do you install the drivers from dell for it? Or are you just using the default Microsoft Generic PnP driver?
What is the purpose of the OEM driver?

Only the name I believe, not much more it adds but I do it anyways to pretty it up or some monitors may require it for some games as they look into that information first.
Don't know if it does anything beyond that but I do it just because that makes me feel better.

csgo looks better using 240Hz ULMB imo,
But when i set a profile like "ComfortView" and start the game i can't change it to any others. So i have to change profile before i start the game that enables ULMB. Am i doing something wrong?
This is awkward tbh
