I am pretty glad with Dell. The last one I used is still working  already
10y old.

The problem is not Dell but Intel and the poisoned market practice ...
because of competition. Intel bundles and were sued for that. Dell has not
much choice.

No man, I'm working father ... and honestly if I had the time I would use it
for something more meaningful ... but today it is an exception.

If I only could find a way to tell X that I want the panel to not expand to
the other screen but to stay on the primary one only ... and the windows to
expand only to the one they are placed on.
I'm sure I had this with the old Dell (intel card).
