Soldato
Just got this monitor for when I’m working from home. It’s a 5K2K 21:9 ultrawide, it has Thunderbolt 4 ports.
My work laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad X13 Yoga Gen 2… which has Thunderbolt 4 ports. I’m sure I read on a blurb for the laptop it can run 3 4K displays.
When I connect the monitor, the laptop starts having a fit. I can see the display in Display Settings as screen 2 but if I click on it, I just get booted back to display one or the settings just dies/closes. It shows up as LG Ultrawide so it’s recognised and the monitor pipes up that it’s connected via Thunderbolt but… nada. Black screen, flickering on the laptop. Unplug and all ok.
I’ve tried powering the laptop independently, restarting, no joy. Hoping I won’t have to return it for something lower res (don’t want OLED for the text fringing) and it’s just an obvious thing I’m missing, but equally I might have missed something obvious that means it can‘t hack it. If it’s a driver thing I worry IT support won’t be much help as I don‘t have admin access to go installing much myself.
Any ideas?
