In a post from 2014, I showed how to drive the sub-standard HDMI input of the Dell U2713HM 27″ UltraSharp at a resolution of 2560×1440 from the HDMI 1.3 output of a Linux-running laptop. Fast forward 3 years, and I found myself having to drive the exact same monitor at its native resolution via its (sub-standard) HDMI input from a 2017 MacBook Pro through the brilliant HyperDrive USB-C dock. (Apple, USB-C is nice, but you really pushed it too far this time.)
