LG 27UD58 (with reverse-engineered codes)

Hi, seems like lots of yours effort went to investigation. Would you like to prepare PR with monitor, and test it? I'll gladly review and cooperate towards getting merged a nice support for new monitor.

Hi...I'm not really sure which of these settings match with the preset options in options.xml. The options are quite unique to this monitor. I can't find any options that match well except for Sharpness. Does this mean we have to modify options.xml too?

Yes, they to match ones in options.xml, which is built from /db/options.xml.in.

The options are quite unique to this monitor. I can't find any options that match well except for Sharpness. Does this mean we have to modify options.xml too?

Range 0xe0 to 0xff is custom, not covered by any standard, so it makes sense, that they are unique. However, you may reuse existing control from options.xml, and just use it with different addresses and values, also you may add new value options to it, but only relevant ones would be shown for each monitor.

So, please, update also options.xml.in. Add, or reuse, options,.. I'll double check it when I'll do PR review.

I have a LG 27UL500 I'm also trying to right a simple batch file to switch inputs as it is too time consuming to do via the monitor. I used clickmonitoddc & control my monitor to try to create but have not been successful in changing the input. 60 is supposed to be the change input VCP code. With my inputs being 17, 18 & 15. Below are three .bat files I created but none of them seem to work. These are all the same code however I used different variations of the monitor name trying to get this to work. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

ControlMyMonitor.exe /SetValue "\.\DISPLAY3\Monitor0" 60 17

ControlMyMonitor.exe /SetValue "LG HDR 4K" 60 17

ControlMyMonitor.exe /SetValue "MONITOR\GSM7707{4d36e96e-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0004" 60 17

ControlMyMonitor.exe /SetValue ".\DISPLAY3\Monitor0" 60 17

I think you missed a \ in ".\DISPLAY3\Monitor0", which should have two \ before .

I was never able to figure it out so I gave up.

well it is a shame :( ... I would have had a perfect software kvm solution with input director switching my usb mouse and keyboard... right now I can only switch to hdmi1 but cannot switch back to displayport after that.. which is a shame

Here goes nothing... Did you guys manage to get it working? It works perfectly on Dell but on LG monitors it doesn't... the input tries to change but goes back to the same input :(

ControlMyMonitor.exe /Switchvalue "\.\DISPLAY4\Monitor0" 60 15 18

I couldn't get it working with my LG monitor either. The screen goes blank temporarily like it's going to switch but when the screen comes back on the port is unchanged. I did notice that no matter what port I'm using, the set value seems to be "0." I suspect this is a bug in LG monitors. My Dell monitors work without issue, though.
