Quadro card with ultrawide distortion

[HateWhatOwnsYou]

LG 1920x1080 widescreen monitor    **oops typo

m4000 GPU

just built a new machine (same monitor) and i swear my old computer didnt have this issue, circles are ovals and squares are rectangles

 

ive tried changing the scaling on the graphics card and seems to make zero difference

control panel and gpu are set to 1092x1080

i dont see any setting in mastercam that would affect this

 

 

what am i missing or am i just stuck with this?

Somewhere in the back of my mind there's something telling me there's an aspect ratio setting in the card driver software but it's been awhile since I've needed to set it....

 

1092 x 1080?

[gcode]

Did you try the Windows display settings in the Control Panel

This stuff has just worked for so long I've forgotten all the hoops we used to have to jump through sometimes

 

You may need to update the monitor drivers in the Device Manager as well

control panel:

scaling 100%'

resolution 1920x1080

magnification 100%

cant seem to find anything on aspect ratio

 

 

driver could be the issue,i didnt install their software for the screen splitting n such because dont really want it. i will check on the driver and install the software to see.

have you tried running the Nvida Desktop Manager wizard.

That's mostly for controlling multiple monitor behavior.. but there may be something in there that will help

Check your resolution in the Nvidia control panel as well as the windows settings. Both should be set to the native screen resolution. I'm running two ultra wide monitors without an issue.

well another thing i noticed, LG has spec say this monitor as a 2560x1080 resolution but windows will not give me that as an option.

i made a custom resolution in nvidia but how do i change it in windows?

[HateWhatOwnsYou]

well now windows let me select the new resolution i made in nvida but now theres a 2" band around myt screen.

perhaps the LG drivers that came with the monitor will do that for you????

ive tried installing the driver and says its successful but isnt helping my issues

[BenK]

What model LG do you have?

29um58-p

 

now im reading that some display port-hdmi cables will not support over 1920x1080?

so I looked at what i bought on newegg and sure enough it says it supports up to 1920-1080 so wtf???

 

 

ive clicked on the drivers and seleved the folders to update it and still doesnt change the options

[BenK]

First thing, that monitor has a resolution of 2560 x 1080. Trying to use 1920 x 1080 is not going to display correctly. Change the resolution in both Windows and Nvidia to 2560 x 1080 and see what that does. On the cables not supporting it, the cables are the same its the output device that needs to support the newer version. My first choice is always Display port but in this case HDMI should drive your monitor without an issue. 

[HateWhatOwnsYou]

Yes as stated 3 posts above when I realized it wasn't recommending the correct resolution.

 

I put 2560x1080 in and then it shrinks the whole screen down but seem to have the aspect correct ratio

 

Maybe I have something set wrong in custom nvidia resolution

[BenK]

Did you install the LG monitor drivers? That resolution should show up without having to create a custom resolution. I have it in Windows and Nvidia control panel on my computer along with a whole list of others and I have never created a custom resolution.

i tried to install them,i downloaded the new driver from LG's website clicked setup and installed the driver on the gpu. it said it installed but nothing changes

 

100% possible im doing something wrong

Are you using dp to HDMI cable?

Did your monitor come with a special cable?

 

All the dp-HDMI cables say they only support up to 1920 and this adapter is the only thing Ive found from googling my issue that seems to fix it
