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?

    This is definitely an LG problem. They told me yesterday that they have no Windows 11 drivers for their Ultragear 4K monitors. Mine's stuck at 1920x1080. Meanwhile, my Dell U2515H is fine at its native/max resolution of 2048x1152.

    New (Dell) Win11 computer installed yesterday.

    Same issue for Acer XR382CQK ultrawide 38" and unfortunately no option to select higher refresh rate than 60Hz

    Hi Dave,

    I tried following these steps to no avail. I am on windows 11 and have an 27 inch LG monitor (27GL83A-B). I am still stuck with the generic PNP monitor and have even tried switching to another display port cable. How would this affect performance or anything else for that matter if it is not fixed?
