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?

    So I downloaded Intel Graphics Command Centre after I saw your comment, and by just choosing 2560 x 1080 (recommended) on Intel, it suddenly pops all ratio in place.

    Thanks again~~~

    This totally worked for me after two solid days of trying everything imaginable. Thank you!

    I recently purchased a new Dell with Windows 11 with Iris R Xe Graphics and my LG wide format would not work as everyone here says - LG has no driver update for Windows 11. Easy fix: I purchased a small USB to HDMI converter from Amazon (manufacturer is Plugable) - cost $49 and had in one day. Took less than 5 minutes to install and the resolution is perfect. I am so happy - worth every penny.

    Hi guys,

    Has anyone found a solution for this? Mine was fine up to recently and now I can't go back and am not sure what to change. I have an LG 29wk500/50S and an intel iris R Xe graphics driver.

    Hoping someone can help - no options for the 2560 x 1080 in the usual settings.

    Thank you
