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?

    I managed to fix the issue by disabling Image Scaling in my Nvidia 3D settings

    I have a 16:9 22" monitor 1920x1080 and I think it looks pretty bad compared to Windows 10. I have tried different hdmi cables and adjusting monitor settings to no avail. I would think at 100% scale it would look much better than it does. I might just go back to Windows 10.

    Hi Dave I tried this method for my Samsung UN40ku6290 and could not find model listed. now what? Should I not be running NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 for my main card? I switched it to that and Windows 11 at the same time and all my colors are horrible and windows seems to run all twitchy and slower?

    Thank you, Condor

    Hi James,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Open Device Manager, then expand the Monitors group

    Right click the Generic PhP monitor and select Properties

    On the Drivers Tab, click Update Driver, then choose 'Browse My Computer for Drivers' and then, Let me pick from a list....'

    Untick the option to show compatible drivers, then scroll down to find the LG drivers

    Do you find your model No. listed there?
