Display devices like camera start working for video calls, etc.MacBook shows output onto beautiful 5K display, with HiDPI support etc.The idea behind it is great: you plug this cable into a MacBook, and magic happens: In short, Issue 1 is: this monitor has only one input: USB-C cable that actually acts as a Thuderbolt 3 cable. Connecting LG 5K to PC over Thunderbolt 3 But if you have old software or driver, you may see just half the screen image or sub-5K resolution. Combined together, they give you the 5K resolution: 5120×2880 pixesl. In LG 5K case, half the display is driven by one tile of 2560×2880 pixels and another half is driven by 2nd cable and 2nd tile over it.

Each of these virtual displays is called a tile, and your graphics adapter, its driver and possibly OS software should all support this tiling concept for a seamless experience – meaning your display appears to have 5K resolution, with software cleverly stitching tiles together into a single image you see. Each port appears to be a separate display of typically half the resolution of your screen. Resolution of 5120×2880 pixels is very bandwidth hungry when it comes to video cable connection.ĭisplay tiling means you connect your hi-res display over multiple ports. Display Tiling for 5K+ resolutionsīecause many interfaces simply don’t have the bandwidth to push all these 5K+ pixels at acceptable (30Hz or 60Hz) rates, there’s a commmon workaround in hi-res displays, called display tiling. WARNING: I haven’t completed this project yet, meaning I get output via USB-C connector into LG 5K Display, but it’s not 5K resolution yet. So far, I figured out Issue 1, kind of started looking into Issue 2, ignored Issue 3 altogether and spent considerable amount of time with no result on Issue 4. You need software/drivers support for the 5K display – it’s called display tiling support.You need software support for LG 5K brightness controls (there are no control buttons on this display – I kid you not!).

You need drivers for supporting camera, microphone and ambient light sensor that are installed in the LG 5K display.You need Thunderbolt over USB-C Connectivity.This poses four complications for anyone planning to use LG 5K with non-Apple hardware: LG 5K is a stunning monitor, created by LG in collaboration with Apple, specifically for use with Apple laptops. LG 5K Monitor - Ports Why Using LG 5K on a PC is Tricky … on the back, as you can see, there are only USB-C format ports: 1 for input and 3 for additional devices: You’ll get similar results on 4K displays available for PCs but LG 5K UltraFine has better colour gamut and screen brightness than most. It’s great for photography and excellent for day-to-day use cause all the browser, documents and terminal windows are super crisp.

This is a great 5K display that’s still one of the only few options available for getting 5K resolution display in macOS without buying an iMac or iMac Pro from Apple.

WARNING: this is a work in progress article, I plan to revisit and update it in the next few weeks/months.

This seemed like an interesting Unix Tutorial Project from the very start! Work In Progress Since I’m planning it as a primary desktop system for my home lab, I want to eventually migrate workflows from MacBook Pro to the new PC – and this means I want to use my existging LG 5K UltraFine 27” display. As I mentioned, I’m building a new Linux based desktop PC – currently running RHEL 8.
