I use a program called Clickmonitor DDC ( https://clickmonitorddc.bplaced.net ) to control the brightness of the LG Ultrafien 4k 24 in Windows 10
Hi everyone,
I tried the setup as suggested with my Lenovo X1 carbon 4th gen, but surprisingly only the audio works, meaning that I can hear some sounds from the monitor but no video. Besides connecting the cable according to the scheme is there something else that I must do to make it works? Thanks in advance!
Hoping this isn't a hardware limitation as I have just bought the same adaptor to use with my works Lenovo laptop.
Is the hub being powered by anything? I've watched a few videos and there is a second usb-c port that is meant to be used to provide power to the HUB.

The HDMI port of the Wacom Link Plus is HDMI 1.4 (4K 30Hz) and wasn't reliable for me.
There are many cheap HDMI 1.4 to DisplayPort 1.2 adapters that you could use instead.
Club 3d has a new HDMI 2.0 to DisplayPort 1.2 adapter which I think is much cheaper than the ones from SIIG or Gofanco.

Yes, if you are having no luck with the HDMI input of the Wacom Link Plus, then the mini DisplayPort input is your only other option. I have not tested this.Thank you! Just to clarify, with this be the setup?
PS4 HDMI --> Club 3d HDMI 2.0 to DisplayPort 1.2 -->Wacom Link Plus --> LG Ultrafine
Is that right?
Ooo amazing! I will add that to my post. Does the USB port on the Wacom need to be plugged for the app to work or does the DP connection alone is enough? Can you try it?
It does work without usb cable
Thanks for your reply! I am not connecting another computer, but I was powering the Wacom adaptor. Do you suggest to try without powering it and see if something change?Are you connecting another computer to the monitor? While there are two thunderbolt 3 ports, you can't have two computers plugged into it at the same time.

Best,

I don't think Wacom Link will work. #122So my order for a Wacom Link Plus was cancelled as item is out of stock. I've been able to pick up a Wacom Link (that has DP and USB with no HDMI). I hope it will work. My LG arrives tomorrow.
I can confirm the Wacom Link (black) does NOT work with the LG 4k UltraFine 23.7"
Are you able to find the right Wacom anywhere else?
Yeah I think lots of people are using it for the UltraFine because before I posted there was a lot of stock then a few days after it started going sold outI am searching online. I already had one order cancelled because the item was out of stock and they didn't know when they would next have one available. Amazon is out of stock until mid/late June and have jacked the price up to over £100.
Wouldn't it be nice if they'd simply make the LG UF 4k/5k with some additional, more normal, ways to optionally connect?
This is so maddening
Yes, but then it wouldn't put pressure on others to move on to this simpler technology.
People also thought removing the SuperDrive from Mac was silly and that it wouldn't help the industry to move past it. Same for Apple's refusal to include Adobe Flash on iOS.I'm not really sure that pressure is working honestly (or will work).
Yet lots of people are looking into the Wacom workaround rather than just buy another monitor. Interesting, no?The majority of the PC space is just fine (more than fine) with 4k options, particularly with how much gaming drives the bus on hardware designs and sales numbers these days.
If only most PCs did have dual DP or even support for driving a single monitor over 2 DPs. The proportion of people building their own PCs is... Low.And when going above 4k, it really is not an issue to just run dual DP cables, particularly if it's a desktop PC build.
Limited in terms of port, sure. But then again, the clientele targeted is not those with computers that have only VGA ports.The LG UF's are so so limited.
If that's what you want to do with your display, then you're not the target for sure. I don't think that's how most people use their monitors anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Can you even plug in a 2nd source and do PIP with an HDMI console or chromecast or anything?
It just feels almost punitively restrictive more so than an enlightened choice with more aspirational motives.

Maybe, but few PCs have two DP. It might be common in the gamer world, but most computers do not.Any modern dGPU can do it - don't even have to build your own PC
Hi, i tried to connect my Computer to the LG Ultrafine 4k like this:
Asus GTX 1060 (with DP 1.4) -> DisplayPort to mini DP cable (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00YOQYQWY/) -> wacom link plus -> thunderbolt 3 cable (that came with the Monitor) -> LG Ultrafine 4k
I can see that windows recognizes the monitor as "LG UltraFine", but somehow, i cannot activate it. (Sound works)
Neither in windows settings, nor in NVIDIA Control Panel. Both with and without micro USB-cable connected.
I have just ordered this DP<->miniDP cable: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07JWJKFFR/ (says it supports DP1.2)
Hopefully it'll work then, otherwise i might need further help from you.
Thanks for introducing the wacom anyway!
