LG 25UM58-P resolution issue.

[Brad1993milly]

Hey guys, hoping there is a simple fix for this otherwise it's time for a new card and this one isn't that old...

My GPU has 4 ports, 1 HDMI, 1 DVI-I, 1 DVI-D and 1 displayport.

I purchased 2 of the above monitors and when purchasing was advised to use 1 HDMI cable and 1 DVI-HDMI converter. The issue here is that the monitor connected via DVI-HDMI is capped at 1920x1080 when it is supposed to be 2560x1080.

Would a displayport-HDMI 4k converter provide me the resolution I need?

TIA,

Brad.

Can't you use a displayport cable instead of messing around with adapters? It's a limitation of the DVI port afaik.

Hiya

as the 25UM58 has only 2 x HDMI, I would suggest getting a DP to HDMI cable/converter, then you can connect one screen via HDMI-HDMI, and the second DP-HDMI

this will then remove the max res issue of DVI

The monitors only have 2 HDMI outputs each. 2nd monitor has to be wired via some type of converter.

Hi Dan, thanks for the reply.

I note that 'most' DP-HDMI converters are limited to 1920x1080 on the box too which still does not solve the issue I would assume.

Any knowledge of these 4K converters?

well, the 4k converter would allow 3840x2160 as a minimum as this is 4k res

That's good to hear. Hopefully the 4K converter I have ordered fixes this then and I can begin to enjoy my first ever dual monitor setup ;D

Quick update, the 4K displayport - HDMI converter arrived, plugged straight in no issues and is working as it should. Thanks all.
