Windows 10: I can't set the resolution to 2560x1080 on my LG 29UM58-P ultrawide monitor

TahinDaniel · Feb 10, 2019

Grapich card: AMD FirePro 2100 Driver version: 25.20.15012.12 Driver date: 2019-01-08
Monitor: LG 29UM58-P ultrawide Driver version: 1.0.0.0 Driver date: 2015-08-26 with DP to HDMI adapter
OS: Win 10

Altough I tried updating all the drivers I can't set the resolution to 2560x1080 because there is no such an option at the display settings.
When I'm trying to update the driver of the monitor by clicking on the Update driver button at the monitor properties it says "The best drivers for your device are already installed". I saw that there is some new drivers at the support page of LG for this monitor, i've tried them all but when I run setup it does nothing but shows a popup with one line: "Driver installation success". No progress bar no nothing. And when I check again the driver of the monitor at the monitor properties I see that the driver is still 1.0.0.0. It does not get updated.

It just works fine on Ubuntu, without any settings required...

LG to expand lineup of UltraWide Monitors at CES 2019

New Models Include 49-inch UltraWide Monitor for Superior Productivity and 38-inch High-Speed UltraGear Monitor for Next-level Immersive Gaming

At CES® 2019 next month, LG Electronics (LG) will unveil its latest range of “Ultra” Monitors, including a 49-inch display for business professionals and a 38-inch display for gamers.

Building on its reputation as a leading innovator in the UltraWide monitor category, the new 49-inch LG UltraWide Monitor (model 49WL95) is built to boost productivity whatever the task, while the latest LG UltraGear™ Gaming Monitor (model 38GL950G) combines superb picture quality with blazing speed to deliver the immersive experiences gamers demand.

2019 LG UltraWide Monitor

Helping users get more done in less time, LG’s latest UltraWide Monitor has a large, 32:9 aspect ratio screen that delivers exceptional picture quality. With its cinematic scale, the UltraWide Monitor is a convenient, high-quality solution that replaces the need for a multi-screen setup. The additional space supplied by its 49-inch display and incredible aspect ratio makes the LG UltraWide ideal for multitasking. Meanwhile, 5120 x 1440 resolution (double the pixel count of two 27-inch Quad High Definition screens combined) with 108 pixels per inch ensures documents are easier to read and digital files are easier to edit.

While suitable for any type of work, the LG UltraWide Monitor is a natural fit for those professionals in finance, IT, digital design and architecture firms seeking to upgrade their technology and improve output. Utilizing LG’s IPS technology, the latest LG UltraWide Monitor offers stunningly accurate color reproduction covering 99 percent of the sRGB color space. Supporting High Dynamic Range (HDR) 10, it is also capable of displaying images and video in 4K resolution.

To make the most of its expansive panel, the LG UltraWide Monitor provides the versatile Picture by Picture mode (PBP), making it possible to view content from multiple external sources side-by-side, or work with multiple applications simultaneously. Dual Controller Software allows users to connect to several devices and control all of them with just a single keyboard and mouse. This software combines perfectly with the PBP function to help improve workflow and increase efficiency. Via the USB Type-C port, users can also transfer data and charge devices including laptops with 85W batteries simultaneously. The UltraWide Monitor’s eye-catching 32:9 curved screen heightens the user’s sense of immersion when viewing movies and other content. What’s more, the clean, minimalist design and slim metal stand add an elegant touch to this productivity powerhouse.

2019 LG UltraGear Gaming Monitor

LG is also debuting its rapid 38-inch Nano IPS UltraGear Monitor at CES 2019. The latest LG UltraGear Monitor supports NVIDIA G-SYNC™ to reduce ‘screen tearing,’ a 144Hz refresh rate and an impressively low response time of 2m/s allowing for fast and fluid gaming. Vivid images with jaw-dropping color come courtesy of the LG UltraGear Monitor’s 3840 x 1600 resolution and 98 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. The LG UltraGear Monitor facilitates enveloping gaming experiences with its 21:9 ultrawide ratio, curved screen and virtually borderless design. Gamers can also create their own unique ambiance with Sphere Lighting that boasts six color settings to complement any game or movie.

“LG is consistently bringing advanced monitors to market, packed with features and functions specifically for different consumer segments,” said Jang Ik-hwan, head of LG’s IT division of the Home Entertainment Company. “With a wide choice of models that prioritize productivity, picture quality and out-of-this-world gaming, more and more consumers are seeing LG as a innovation leader in monitors.”

Visitors to LG’s booth (Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall #11100) at CES 2019 will experience first-hand the new features of the 2019 UltraWide monitors from LG.

GTX 1050 2gb performance on LG 29UM59A-P

Hey, im still fairly new to pc gaming. I got a laptop (specs below) with gtx 1050 2gb. I found an ultrawide freesync monitor with 2560x1080p resolution with 75hz. I do know that you don't get freesync with nvidia gpu. So, my understanding is, since I'm a budget gamer here, is it worth getting a monitor? The link to the monitor is down below and a coupon code i have found lets me get the monitor at $180 instead of $400. No joke! But, what i really want to know is, can i still game at least around 60 fps with games like fortnite, rocket league, Battlefield 1, pubg, paladins, l4d2, and other games? I do know PUBG is a gpu heavy game and i get abotu 60 fps with low settings 900p. Also, can i use features like nvidia fast sync or adaptive vsync to remove screen tearing for smooth game play without losing frames on that ultrawide freesync monitor? I kinda want to get that ultrawide monitor since its on sale. I still play on my laptop screen in the meantime.

Monitor has only hdmi and usb c/thunderbolt 3. My laptop has TB3 as well. Can i use a TB3 cable and get the same performance as i would with an HDMI?

Display Resolution for two monitor have different settings

I bought a HP Pavilion with windows 10 home and im running 3 monitors. 1 32" LG TV and 2 LG Ultrawide monitors via a j5 create adaptor. For a while everything was running fine until the screen black out for a second the came back. The display resolution
went from 1920x1080(recommended) to 2560x1080(and is also saying recommended). I've already tried updating the drivers for both my intel graphics card and trigger 6 graphics card but, nothing seems to revert it back to 1920x1080. Could someone please help?
