    LG Ultrafine 5k randomly stops working

    Long story short I bought a Ultrafine 5k off facebook marketplace for $450. It was in excellent cosmetic condition and never gave me any problems until this morning. It refuses to acknowledge a connection to my m1 macbook air. I tried unplugging and plugging in both the usb-c and power cable and...

    Apple-LG Ultrafine 5K is uselessly buggy with iPad Air 5

    Not sure if this is a PSA or a rant :confused: I bought my Ultrafine 5K at the same time as my 2020 Intel Mac Mini and the combo worked flawlessly. I just switched to a 256GB iPad Air 5 (M1) as my primary computer and the 5K is worthless with it. For almost every connection, the 5K mirrors...

    Daisy Chain LG ultra fine 4k and 5k

    I recently upgraded my setup with a 5k Ultra fine monitor but wanted to run dual monitors with my old 4k Ultra fine. I know that you cannot daisy chain a 5k ultra fine because it lacks the thunderbolt connections. I read somewhere that it could be the "end" of the daisy chain if I start with the...

    Does the LG UltraFine 5K support NVIDIA Surround?

    Hi guys, I've got my LG UltraFine 5K connected to my PC via the Moshi DisplayPort to USB-C cable plugged into my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and I'm trying to setup NVIDIA Surround, however, no matter what I do, I can't get it to connect. It just keeps coming up with a display connection error...

    LG 27" 5K UltraFine monitor: Display not aligned horizontally with stand base

    I just received my LG 27" 5K UltraFine monitor (new, not used, 27MD5KL-B). Everything works great. However it has one small issue: the display isn't precisely aligned with the base horizontally (picture attached). I wonder if other users have the same issue? I noticed that another buyer on...

    Dual 5k monitor (performance)

    I have a 16” MBP with 32 GB of memory. It’s currently attached to a 5k display, but am considering throwing another 5k monitor at it. I write software, and often tax my machine (think: compiling), but overall one 5k monitor seems to have no performance impact. I’d I add this second monitor...

    LG 5K Ultrafine + Humanscale M2.1 (not working!)

    Hi there, Hoping someone can help me :) I’ve installed a new LG 5K on a brand new humanscale M2.1 arm. I've been able to adjust the tension so up and down is working fine, but the monitor seems waay too heavy on its right hand side, it won’t stay straight at all unless I hold it. Tried the hex...

    LG Ultrafine 5K Backlight Partially Out

    I have an LG 5k Ultrafine (27MD5KA-B) that has a pretty strange issue. Sometimes and frequently when I plug it in, parts of the screen's backlight won't work. I sent this in to LG whenever it was in warranty, they weren't able to reproduce, so they weren't able to fix it. I'm kinda confused on...

    Thunderbolt 3 Splitter?

    I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on something I've been trying to accomplish. I have a 16" MacBook Pro and the LG UltraFine 5K monitor which only allows Thunderbolt 3 for it to work with the Mac. This is fine, though the Mac needs 96 Watts and the monitor over Thunderbolt 3 only...

    Is the LG UltraFine 5K flicker-free?

    The 4K version is not flicker-free (https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/ultrafine-4k) but I can't find any reviews about the 5K version.

    LG 5K UltraFine, 27MD5KL-B — uniformity/uneven brightness?

    Hello, recently bought LG 5K UltraFine, 27MD5KL-B. Under certain conditions and viewing angle, it appears there is slight difference in the brightness; from what I can tell, the issue is visible on white background, where part of the right side of the screen seems as it transitions to slightly...

    Displays which fade in on screen wake

    I have an external monitor for my iMac. I am looking for a new one. The way that this display wakes over displayport is incredibly obnoxious. I'll walk up to my iMac, hit a key to wake the screen up, and by the time my Watch has unlocked my computer, the external display has just gotten its...

    iPad Pro Oct 2018 with External Monitor Support

    Didn't see a post about this, so starting one. I'm wondering if I can use the USB-C port to connect to my LG Ultrafine 5K monitor. If so, I'm wondering what resolution it will be. Same as iPad? Or native to the Ultrafine. If so, will it also charge the iPad at the same time (logically, it...

    Classic Mac Pro 4,1 -> 5,1 driving Ultrafine 5K full resolution.

    I was able to get my classic Mac Pro to drive the LG Ultrafine 5K at full 5K resolution retina mode enabled. I used an Gigabyte Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt 3 card inside my Mac Pro. 2 DP cables go from my Nvidia GTX 1080Ti to the Alpine Ridge then the Thunderbolt 3 cable goes from the Alpine Ridge...
