If and when I get my hands on another monitor I'll definitely try it
out. (Although ultimately it would be nice to get it working with this
one, as it works fine under Linux. This is a Dell U2515H.)

You may be able to get a higher resolution by decreasing the refresh rate:

$ gtf 2560 1440 33

# 2560x1440 @ 33.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 48.44 kHz; pclk: 162.77 MHz
Modeline "2560x1440_33.00" 162.77 2560 2688 2960 3360 1440 1441
1444 1468 -HSync +Vsync

$ xrandr --newmode 2560x1440_33.00 162.77 2560 2688 2960 3360 1440
1441 1444 1468 -HSync +Vsync
$ xrandr --addmode DVI-0 2560x1440_33.00
$ xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 2560x1440_33.00
