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?

    OP, did you ever find a solution for this? Scaling looks HORRIBLE with Windows 11 and the LG UWS 34.

    No. Nothing seemed to work. I gave the monitor to my wife. Her company hasn't moved to windows 11 so it works perfectly.

    That sure is disappointing. I wonder if this is a problem exclusive to LG's widescreen, or if it affects all monitors with that aspect ratio.

    I am running the one I have from an Nvidia card and DP connection, but you can see what the Device Manager shows. You have installed the LG driver for the monitor?

    I've got a surface laptop 4. Not sure the hardware is there to run this monitor.
