iPad Pro M2 iPad Pro with LG 40WP95C-W 5K2K external monitor

Apologies if this is the wrong forum (ipadOS16 perhaps) but I’m keen to hear if anyone has any experience of this monitor with the M2 iPad Pro.
I have just bought both and I’m pretty underwhelmed tbh. Scaling is terrible, the apps/windows are huuuuuuge without an option to reduce their size or scale.
Not sure if the monitor simply very isn’t compatible, there’s a problem with my iPad or I’m doing something wrong.
Connecting via TB4 (supplied with monitor) the screen is stretched. Connecting via USB-C - Display port and the image is good but without control of the scaling it’s a complete waste of screen space.
Only options available to modify in Display and Brightness are the HDR / SDR toggles and the ‘allow display mode changes’ I’ve seen other forums that suggest the betas had zoom control but I’m not getting that.
iPad also only recognised the screen as an LG Ultrawide, not via the model which is recognised for some monitors.
Screen works like a dream on my wife’s M1 MacBook Pro.

Sure did, M2 Mac mini!
That aside, no not a satisfactory one (for me) with the M2 iPad.
I’m getting a second 34” screen imminently for another desk so will be interested to know what it’s like on that, likely a 34WN750P-B (3440x1440), but I expect the scaling nuances to remain. Maybe iPadOS17 will sort that out (doubtful)
Tbf I could probably live with the scaling as my main aspiration was to run a Citrix session on the 40” screen from the iPad, unfortunately I can’t / couldn’t get that to work properly on the iPad on the big screen, but that’s another story. For ‘domestic’ use of normal iOS apps, while it’s not ideal it’s workable, but definitely not worth buying a 5K2K for the experience you get imho.

Got my iPad today and installed iOS17 right away. Its okay-ish I think. Everything is a bit big, but its fine for me. Maybe a 34 or 32 inch ultrawide monitor is a better choice. Connected via TB4 I get a crisp picture/nice colors (HDR turned off) and the iPad is loading but its somehow limited to 5120x2160 @ 50hz. That kinda sucks because it looks damn laggy.

It’s a great monitor imho, just I think the resolution is a bit wasted on the app scaling. Like you say everything is just a bit bigger than it needs to be. Good example is running the ipadOS Excel app, so you can scale the cells to get lots in a ‘window’, but you can’t scale the ribbon so the icons stay huge!
Enjoy the screen I personally think its great.
