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?

    Use this LG link below.... Go to the bottom and click the LG monitors download select the ultrawide driver and load them to your laptop.. You should be good from there.

    Yep, I've just discovered this, exactly the same issue. I'm sending the 'new' laptop back - I'll go buy a used windows 10 machine

    Hey all,

    I think to buy Monitor LG UltraWide 29WP500-B 29. Are there any problems now with Windows 11 after that 2 years? I read in some comments that is resolution problem and no drivers. But that was half year ago

    Hey everyone, I sold my LG and bought a Samsung, so I'm no longer able to test it. Thanks to everyone who commented here.

    this worked for me also. instead of using native windows display settings to make the changes, make them with the Nvidia app, if you have one.

    also, it did take several days and several updates. but the above worked for me.
