Disappointing it has some pro vs the Dell 2007FPb, like it shows the bios screen the right way while the dell doesn't, but this monitor also fails some tests which are fine on the dell

Is this testing suite still hosted somewhere else?

I saw the OP is banned. Do any of the previous posters have the file? I'd love to be able to test a few monitors and contribute.
