You shouldn't need to use CRU with the HP ZR2740w. The monitor only supports 2560x1440 @ 60 Hz and 1280x720 @ 60 Hz, both of which should already be defined in the EDID.

Monitors don't need drivers. It should be plug and play. What video card do you have? Are you using DVI or DisplayPort?

Thanks for the reply! I have tried DP-to-DP, HDMI-to-DVI, and DP-to-DVI, but even though the OS (in this case Win10) recognizes the model of the display, it does not show anything other than 1280x720 in the pull-down of resolutions. (The thread link I posted shows other people with similar experiences.) I think the driver for Windows is defective. It is v1.0.0 written for Win 7 and then never upgraded. The same monitor works fine DVI-to-DVI on a MacBook Pro with latest OSX.
