I got this card, that I'm not gonna use anyway. I can send it to you for free if you'd like, for a current or a future build.

Hmm... I really don't have any experience with these types of wide screen monitors... Maybe try using ResXtreme or SwitchRes to see if they can help get the correct resolutions and scaling options.

nice youre a damn god !!! with resXtreme it is working now !! thank you a lot

Wow! That's very generous of you! Thanks!

Let me try to get permission from an admin to see if I can somehow get my address to you...

Thanks again!!!

hey pastrychef,
i bought myself the delicious LG 34WK95U-W but unfortunately it is just displaying the full resolution on windows 10 (5120 x 2160).
i wired it over a displayport cable (version 1.4 "certified up to 8k res").
do you know of any workaround to get the full res on my mac os ??

UPDATE:
sorry the resolution is correctly detected in mac os, it is the scaling which is causing problems! it is not scaling towards 100% on 5120 x 2160View attachment 401500

wall mounted. it just feels like that the height of the screen is lower to the LG 32"-4k display. i will test it out for a few days and see if the price is worth it...doing animations and video editing

I just realized that it's a mini-PCI card... Moving forward, it's highly unlikely I'll ever put together another system that will have mini-PCI. I've found that I can find much better value in buying 1 or 2 generation old, used Dell or HP system (please see my Clunker build). Lol

Thank you very much for the offer! I truly appreciate it!! Cheers!!

Hey @pastrychef:

In the beta notes for 10.14.5, Beta 3, it says the following ".....Kernel extensions signed after April 7th, 2019 must be notarized in order to load on macOS...."

Do you have any thoughts about this? Any discussions on tonymac or elsewhere about how this might impact us all?

Here are two articles that may interest you:

There’s more to notarization than that

Is notarization just ‘security theatre’? How easy would it be to distribute malware through a legitimate distributor outside the App Store?
