I had another adapter (hdmi/vga to displayport), connected my monitor to it, and the very same custom resolutions just worked!

I tried changing settings (custom resolutions) at SwitchResX, and always got back a 'Not activated - invalid?' message back.Īfter days, I read some comment, regarding trying to connect directly to thunderbolt/displayport. In my case, my LG 29UM68-P worked connected to a j5 create hub, but one day it just stopped working.

Use suggestion upon starting point: in fact, use the parameters, as suggested, and just duplicate the custom resolution and change the vertical Hz valueĪnd, the most important thing is: have another video adapter available to test.

Have a backup of your previously working settings, or at least remember where you took them from.

This is very important! in case anyone is stuck upon having a working version of your widescreen, and suddenly it stopped working:
