LG to Introduce 34-inch IPS 21:9 UltraWide (Model UM95) monitor

thanks, just sanity checking. not a problem if youve got one lying around, but a bit of an oversight when you have to have the screen connected to PC for those ports to work, and if you want to do a hardware calibration as well :confused:
 
yes they do normally. It's just that it's odd that LG don't provide the cable in the box to connect the PC to screen so you can use that feature! (and use the USB hub ports)
 
Hey guys, has anyone got the USB ports on their monitor working?

I bought a USB A-B printer cable from eBay for 99p to make the connection... it works perfect with my M-Audio MIDI keyboard as well as my Axe FX II XL guitar amp modeller. It doesn't work with the LG though, and keeps coming up with "USB device not recognised" every time I plug something in. Any help?
 
Also does anyone know how to use this monitor in a resolution other than native without stretching? For example if I was to change to 1440 x 2560 but without any stretching... so it would operate like a native 1440 x 2560 res monitor, is that possible? Obviously there would be black bars on either side.
 
Set the ratio mode to 1:1 in the OSD?

Not quite sure why you'd want to use that res though for desktop!

The USB cable, it's a USB3 connection so probably because it's a cheapo cable.
 
Yep theres a 1:1 scaling option in the first section of the OSD which should do the trick. Not sure why youd want to though.

Just noticed something weird while testing with an all black screen. After 5 seconds the backlight gets shuts off. Like some DCR functions do, but as far as I can tell there's no DCR function to turn on or off in the OSD? There's no sign of any other dynamic backlight control during any uses, just this backlight switch off on an all black screen. Maybe a hang over from a DCR function they removed at a late stage?!
 
Are you loading an all black image or a webpage or something? I can try replicate but havign used black images before on this screen (both even) I can confirm no backlight shutoff!

I take it in your OSD that Calibration is "on" which automatically disables the Super Energy Saving function? (Function tab in the OSD).
 
Wait... the 1:1 thing doesn't work. When I launch a game it stretches across the whole screen, even when resolution in-game is set to 1920x1440. And when disable "full screen" it goes into windowed :(

I need this because my GTX 780 ti can't cope with some newer games at full res (very disappointing TBH). So rather than sacrificing detail I wish to play with a lower resolution, but not stretched.

Could it be that they were advertising it quite a bit for Macs? Since with just Thunderbolt I never needed the USB to connect to the display to use the USB hub or for calibration.

Just a 100% all black image at full screen. Doesn't make a difference if calibration is on or off but I've turned super energy saving off

I get that on the 34" UM65 even watching bluray discs if it has a black screen whilst loading the LG shuts off its very fast at coming back but not sure how to disable as its obviously to save lamp bulb life!

Via either Display Port or HDMI.
 
None of that here, if the refresh rate changes the screen will shut off and restart after about 5 seconds as the display reboots. A good way to tell this is have the led for power set to off because if the monitor restarts the led will come back on while it is booting and revert to off once booted.

Set your Nvidia control panel to GPU scaling & maintain aspect ratio should sort that if the LG is set to 1:1.

I only have the UM65 which is lower res & my single GTX 780 Ti struggles @ 2560x1080 to maintain decent FPS on recent games you really need SLI GTX 780 Ti or better :eek:

That explains it then as Blurays force 23/24Mhz mode to maintain sync with the film FPS.

No perfect answer though as 60 FPS is not a multiple of 23 or 24 Mhz so if you force 60 for Blurays you can get frame skipping issues especially on slow pans they become very choppy regardless of GPU/CPU :eek: I get this issue on 1:1 MKV's or direct from Bluray disc how do you get around this mate?
 
I use MPC-BE for all my MKV files, I have a few in 4K and the rest all 1080P/720P. If a film stutters (rare, can't recall the last time it happened) on slow scenes I enable the advanced vsync mode in MPC, seems to sort it. I notice no frameskips in the MPC-BE playback stats view though.

I get frame skipping with any of the vsync options in MPC on GTX780Ti + Core i7 980X 12 threads XE CPU :eek:
 
Weird, never had any issues like that here on AMD or nVidia. For AVCHD stuff like Tears Of The Sun in 4K I had to disable DXVA for the AVC internal video decoder. I had weird seek issues with it in DXVA mode but with it off for that it is butter smooth.

My CPU is a 3770K @ 4.6 btw. CPU usage with DXVA off for AVC-HD is around 27% iirc, with it ON it dropped to something like 13%.
