CRU / Dell P2720D / pixel clock / add monitor data

[ToastyX]

You're overcomplicating this. If the resolution is listed in CRU, then "no scaling" has no effect unless GPU scaling is enabled. If it's not listed in CRU, then it's a GPU-scaled resolution.

GPU scaling scales lower resolutions to the native resolution. Display scaling sends the resolution to the monitor. Keep in mind that the monitor will scale lower resolutions to the panel's native resolution, so a lower resolution at a higher refresh rate might not be less stress than the native resolution at the same refresh rate.

I don't know where people are getting that there's higher lag with GPU scaling. People only say this with NVIDIA, but it has never been proven.

Dell states that overclocking a monitor voids its warranty. Do you think (or know) that this is even detectable?

No, they won't know.
