Windows 10: MacBook Pro running Windows 10 boot camp with Thunderbolt 3 and LG Ultrafine 5k display not...

I have a 2017 Macbook Pro with Thunderbolt 3 running Windows 10 Professional most up to date version in Boot Camp environment ("bare metal" not a VM)


I have an LG Ultrafine 5k display connected with a Thunderbolt 3 cable.


I can not get the display to work correctly in Windows 10 (works fine on Mac OS side)


When plugged in, the display will flicker a lot and I continually get errors about "USB device not recognized" over and over, as if the display is being constantly plugged in and out.


Windows Event Viewer does not show any errors with GPU or graphics drivers.


Thanks!

:)

 

LG Announces the UltraFine 5K and UltraFine 4K Monitors

LG Electronics (LG) is introducing two new displays designed specifically to integrate seamlessly with the newest MacBook and MacBook Pro models. The new UltraFine 27-inch 5K display and its 21.5-inch 4K display from LG are ideal for creating an expanded work space in the home or office and the perfect complement for MacBook and MacBook Pro users who desire expansive, high-quality resolution at all times.

Designed and optimized for the new MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 3 running macOS 10.12 and later, the stunning 27-inch UltraFine 5K display appeals to a range of creatives, including video and photography professionals. With a breathtaking resolution of 5120 x 2880 and 218 pixels per inch (ppi), the color reproduction capabilities of the UltraFine 5K display allow it to cover 99 percent of the P3 color space. What's more, the monitor's advanced IPS display technology minimizes color shift and color loss from any viewing angle, ensuring that users see the original content as it was meant to be seen.







As the world's first 5K display with Thunderbolt 3, LG's UltraFine 5K display has the capability to receive and transfer 5K video, audio and data from the new MacBook Pro while simultaneously charging it through a single Thunderbolt 3 cable. The UltraFine 5K display features three downstream USB Type-C ports for additional connectivity and power with compatible accessories. Seamless macOS integration enables brightness and volume control like built-in display without the need for physical buttons on the display.

The front-facing camera and microphone works with FaceTime and high fidelity integrated speakers enhanced by LG's Rich Bass feature completes the multimedia experience while a height and tilt-adjustable stand maximizes user comfort.

21.5-Inch UltraFine 4K Monitor
With a density of 219ppi that gives this display the ability to present sharp 4K resolution (4096 x 2304) image quality, the UltraFine 4K display is the perfect companion for the MacBook while also supporting the new MacBook Pro. The 21.5-inch model covers 99 percent of the P3 spectrum, boasting vibrant brightness levels and an IPS panel capable of providing more uniform color expression. Featuring USB Type-C connectivity for video, data and power over a single cable and macOS integration for display control, the LG UltraFine 4K display offers three downstream USB Type-C slots, a high-quality Rich Bass Speaker and an adjustable stand for enhanced ergonomics.

"We are excited to be introducing two highly advanced displays capable of meeting the needs of even the most demanding Mac users," said Brian Kwon, president of LG Home Entertainment Company "Not only do these UltraFine displays offer stunning picture quality, they will usher in a new age of connectivity, helping creative users achieve optimal efficiency in their homes, studios or offices."

The LG 21.5-inch UltraFine 4K display will be available starting in November while the LG 27-inch UltraFine 5K model will be available in early December starting in the United States.

 

LG UltraFine 5K - Windows 10


Is there a way to use the LG UltraFine 5K monitor with a windows pc which does not have a thunderbolt 3 port. I know the monitor is only thunderbolt 3 input, but I have a friend who is thinking of getting one but we are unsure how to get it all working. Is there an adaptor for HDMI to Thunderbolt 3? I would assume most Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI are not bi-directional. Anyone already accomplish this, and if so, what kinds of cables and/or adaptors did you use?

 

Does Win 10 have drivers for LG Ultrafine 4K and 5K, thunderbolt connection to a MAC

Dear Windznow, I’m running Win 10 home 64 in a boot camp partition on a MacBook Pro 13, with 2x LG 4k monitors. They work acceptably, a little shaky, but it coukd be me (new to multi display).

Microsoft says Apple is responsible for the drivers. There are no other drivers on LG website or Windows...so i guess what i’ve got is as good as i’ll get.

regards-Craig
