LG UltraWide 34U650A-B HiDPI Issue

[FriarJnr1971]

I have download BetterDisplay hoping to resolve the issue of only have LoDPI fonts on my LG UltraWide 34U650A-B but having followed the instructions to achieve this, it doesn't seem to be making any difference at all.

I am using the trial version at the moment with the Pro features still active, but whatever I try I can't get HiDPI working at an acceptable resolution.

I can only achieve HiDPI by setting the resolution at 2048 x 858 but then everything is so large on the screen, it's pointless and unusable.

Does anyone have any specific settings for this monitor, else I can't a reason for purchasing BetterDisplay.

Thanks.

Hmm. 2048x858 seems like a rather low resolution indeed. How does your resolution list look like and how did you configure things?

Note: of course simply downloading the app will do nothing, obviously you need to set up flexible scaling (https://github.com/waydabber/BetterDisplay/wiki/Fully-scalable-HiDPI-desktop) - I assume you did that and somehow it still does not work.

Thanks for quick reply.

Yes, I tried the instructions in the link and I don't seem to get a slidable resolution bar, I'm stuck at certain presets (3440 x 1440, 1920 x 804 & 1720 x 720), none of which offer HiDPI. Instead I select High Resolution (HiDPI) from the menu which forces 2028 x 858.

See config attached.

Thanks.

Oh, but flexible scaling is a pro feature and you don't seem to have pro and trial ran out, probably that's why it does not work? You can try creating custom scaled resolutions though.

Thanks. Not sure why the trial has already run out, I thought it was 7 days? I'm sure I did also try this immediately after downloading when it was Pro and it didn't work. Bit reluctant to purchase Pro and it doesn't make any difference ☹️

Same problem here. My trial is still active, but there's only 3 options for my 3440 * 1440 monitor.

[waydabber]

You need to configure/enable flexible scaling.

Works for me, thanks. The tutorial would be better if "Open Settings (the gear icon at the bottom of the menu)." could have its own figure to explain where it is.
