I'm not able to set resolution to 2560 x 1080

[Camarti]

Hi, 

When I connect my HP Elitebook 840 G3 laptop via HDMI DisplyaPort to a my LG 29WL500  Ultrawide Monitor,  I'm not able to set up the resolution to 2560 x 1080  as It's not showed in the settings , 

When I try with other laptops (Lenovo), I'm able to set it when connecting to the monitor, 

Do you know if there is a driver to update or something I can do to enable this resolution ? 

Thanks a lot

What is your HDMI DisplyaPort cable ?  I believe you connect DP at your machine end and HDMI at the monitor end.

You need DP to HDMI version 2 adapter or cable.

Hi @Banhiem,

yes I use a DP to HDMI adapter from my laptot to the monitor, (this one https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B076RFF7Q3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )

Cable is a normal HDMI one, but as I use it also for my other Lenovo laptop I don't think this is the issue,

At this point I don't know if its due to the adapter or any missing driver/setting on my HP laptop,

In theory all my drivers are up to date,

Thanks

It clearly says

Il chip di conversione ottimizzato + Il Cavo Premium ⇨ 1920×1080@60Hz (1080P) Full HD con la schermatura contro l'interferenza. (la qualità audio senza perdita)

As I said above, you need an adapter/cable which support 4K or Ultra HD resolution. For example

I don't know which one is available in your country.
