Resolution Problems Windows 10 With Two Monitors, Second Is Ultrawide.

[DaddyO]

OS: Windows 10 Home
Graphics Card: ASUS R7 259 1 GB (AMD)
Primary Monitor HP 27xw 1080p with HDMI connection
Second Monitor: LG 25UM65-P UltraWide 2560x1080 with DVI connection

Problem: Cannot get LG Ultrawide to display 2560x1080 resolution, and Windows 10 does not give me that option. Highest offered is 1920 x 1080. I've tried online suggestions but always bump up against same problem. I've even tried switching my LG to be my primary monitor--- same problem exists. The LG was my primary using Windows 8.1, worked fine, but I've upgraded to Windows 10 and added the HP monitor intending it to be my primary.

Question: Does anyone have any ideas why this might be and how to get full resolution on my second monitor?

This is what Microsoft has to say about it I guess: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f22dcdd6-f064-4cb6-9f39-77a571ced55c/widescreen-monitor-not-working-with-windows-10?forum=win10itprohardware

Thanks Sean for the heads up, but so far as I remember three months ago the LG worked fine with Windows 10 when it was my only monitor.

Here's what I have found about it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3kecbv/dual_monitor_setup_with_a_24_1920x1080_along_with/

It might help!

Thanks a bunch, Sean. Looks like that article contains what answer there is. I'll follow up on it.
