Thanks think I've got the correct version of OnScreen Control already from one of the other monitors but installed the driver just to be sure.

I still can't figure out how to change all of the calibration settings that was posted previously though!

I can not figure out the lighting how does one enable video sync?

Need the LG UltraGear Control Centre and then you can enable it in there. Unfortunately I was hoping it would work for Xbox over HDMI as well but looks to only work with the PC source

Is it the on screen control panel? because I do not see it in there.

No you need the LG UltraGear Control Centre, this one worked for me from here:

Thanks so many control centres LOL do not know why these all can not be in one application.

I've just set this monitor up and one thing I've noticed as how much heat the panel gives off, anyone else notice this? Not necessarily a problem, will just have to avoid getting too close to it

Thanks

Yes I have, in a room that is already too hot with all of the technology!

So what's the deal with stock issues? Is it affected by that damn global chip shortage?
One of my Ultrasharps just TABed out of warranty, so I'm forced to upgrade and now I need not one but two 27GP950s :|

Just posted this to try and get to the bottom of what is going on: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/foru...tering-new-monitor-over-displayport.18931112/

In case it is related to the monitor (so far no issues with HDMI and my Xbox)... Those who have set the monitor up are you using the included displayport cable and noticing any issues?

shankly1985 · 17 Jun 2021 at 20:01

To get video sync working is it just a USB cable from monitor USB B port to pc?

Connected the monitor to my PC but device manager i get error A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

Raw material supply issues due to covid, transport/processing of raw materials issues from Covid, production issues due to staff sickness/isolation/safe working practices, covid issues affecting port bandwidth in China (staff availability, safer working practices, etc), lack of shipping containers/bandwidth due to increased demand for ppe etc., knock on/reciprocal effects at receiving ports EU or UK hub wise, reciprocal effects on EU/UK infrastructure, Brexit holdups due to new/incorrect/increased paperwork.

I'm sure there are more and better ways I could put it, but the above highlights some issues in the chain.

Not all of the above will affect everything but I'd reckon most supply chains will be somewhat affected by some of the difficulties listed above.

Are you using only the USB B port on the back?

Edit

Stupid me didn't have the cable all the way in OMG

Had this so many times when building over 1500 PC's in my time in Tech.

"Why is this PC not posting?... Num lock light is turning on and off so it is posted... check cables.... Case/GPU (or screw tightness) meant that hdmi cable wasn't all the way in... FML" (was worried the PC I'd spent an hour building had a faulty component I'd have to fault find taking up valuable time I could spend building more PC's)
