Connect Dell Ultrasharp to MacBook Pro 2017

I have problems connecting Dell Ultrasharp U2717D to my new Mac book Pro (2017). I don't get the highest resolution. Can anyone help what I need?

I’ll try, Omandy. See if, under the monitor’s menu, for inputs, it’s set to DisplayPort. You may also have to turn on mts. Connect DisplayPort cable to Mac and, I believe a USB cable as well. Under system preferences, go to display, hold down option key, and you should get a list of resolutions. I have a Dell monitor ( the 24xx model) and for mine, an altered EDID was called for, which you can get somewhere on the internet along with instructions on how to install it


Hope this helps a bit
