I recently purchased an LG 29UM57 monitor with 2560x1080 native resolution. I bought the Plugable DP to HDMI 2.0 Active Adapter in hopes I would be able to use my new monitor as an external screen. The HP laptop has the Intel HD4400 onboard graphics. This should be enough to output 2560x1080 shouldn’t it?
I have tried updating the Intel drivers and no luck. When I connect the adapter to the laptop both screens immediately turn black. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks for posting. Strange to hear this resolution isn’t achievable – just as you’d mentioned, I’d think the HD4400 should be capable unless there’s something unique about the implimentation.
When you have a moment, could you collect and send in a set of system logs (gathered with the adapter/LG attached) so we can dig in and see what the next best steps will be?
