Resolution Display issue with LG monitor can't change

Dean5 · 27 Nov 2018

Hi
Hope this is right place to post.
I'm having a issue with the LG ips led 27mp59ht monitor. I can't change display resolution. It's stuck on 1280 x 1024 stretched wide even though within the pc the display is changed to 1920 x 1080. Each time I reboot the pc the monitor tells me the current resolution and to change it to the recommend setting of 1920 x 1080 to configure within the pc. The on screen options on the monitor are all selectable besides from the display and some of the resolution settings as it has a super res setting.
I've been backwards and forwards with LG and Windows. I've updated driver re-installed windows updated drivers again I believe correctly with no success.
It's hard to display screenshot and pictures currently as it hard to see the few inchs of a black screen boarder and the on screen controls

Side info:
when I restart the pc the monitor at the beginning is fully selectable for brief monument besides the display option.
When I first reinstalled windows it had 3 settings for resolution highest being 1280 x 1024 it wasn't until I install the graphics driver I was able to change that.

hello @Dean5 and welcome to the forums. It would help if you completed your system specs so we would know the hardware we are dealing with. This will show you how.

Please fill out your System Specs

Information

Your System Specs will help us to help you, and doing it in this manner will make them available to all helpers in every post and keep us from hunting for them. We ask that you fill them out in as much detail as possible including Desktop or Laptop, Model number if it is an OEM computer and all components with the Manufacturer and Model number if possible.

If you will go to your last post and click the 'System Specs' in the bottom left of the post, you will find a link to update your system specs. Please fill those out in as much detail as possible, making sure to click save at the bottom of the page. If you would like to know what we would like, you can click 'My System Specs' at the bottom left of this post to see mine. If you do not know what your components are, this will help you accomplish this task. System Specs - Fill in at Ten Forums

That issue is usually caused because of the graphics driver not being installed or being corrupted or using the wrong cable from the computer to the monitor. From looking up that monitor, I don't think the cable is your problem. I would tend to think you need a clean installed graphics driver. Your system specs will let us know how to proceed.
