I recently updated to Windows 11. I have a LG 34 inch ultrawide monitor (21:9 aspect ratio, 2560x1080 resolution). Windows 11 selects the generic Pnp monitor driver, which has a max 1920x1080 resolution, so the screen is fuzzy and stretched out - really unusable. LG does not have an updated driver, Windows 11 has all updates installed has no updates available related to this driver and it will only select this as the recommended resolution.

Is there no support for 2560x1080 HDMI monitors in windows 11?

    Hi, I have the LG 34 ultrawide monitor which did do the 2560x1080 in Windows 10. On Windows 11, I was able to get this resolution to work for about 10 seconds before it began to fritz. So, I selected a different 21:9 resolution, i.e. 2432 x 1024. I did this because my computer is a Dell and comes with an NVIDIA Quadro P1000. I was able to download the latest drivers from NVIDIA and use NVIDIA Control Panel as follows:

    Display > Change resolution

    Click "Customize..." button

    Click "Create Custom Resolution..."

    1. Select displays

    LG Eletronics LG HDR WFHD

    1. Resolution settings:

    Horizontal pixels: 2432

    Vertlical lines: 1024

    Refresh rate (Hz): 59

    Color depth (bpp): 32

    Scan type: Progressive

    Timing:

    Standard: CVT reduced blank

    Did you upgrade to Windows 11 or did you get a new machine that only has ever had windows 11?

    You may have a driver on the DVD that came with the unit or be able to download it from LG for your monitor.
