windows 11 with LG ultrawide monitor
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?

Cuz we all live in a retarded world where we can have 2560 x 1080 ultra wide screen in safe mode but not in regular mode!!
But seriously how do I have ultrawide screen only in safe mode but not in regular mode?
How does safe modes generic **** driver provide better support?
is it becuase its stuck in 8 bit color mode?

The second you try to use it as the sole monitor, or use it in conjunction with the laptop it gets wonky again. So it's possible to use it with a second external monitor, which is just ODD

2022-03-29T14:28:01+00:00 I'm not sure. I have a Dell XPS 13 (9310) that runs thru a dell dock (can't remember which one) and it drives 2 32" LG monitors. One is just 1080P but the other is a 2k monitor. For the longest time I could only run both monitors at 1080. I wasn't sure if it was the graphics card or the dock or the LG driver. I just learned to live with it. Then I noticed the 2k monitor was showing support for 2k in the display settings. Seems like it happened after a windows update. I guess my message is maybe there is hope for some of these more odd ball peripherals as Windows 11 gets built out more. But I could be totally wrong too!
