The Dual Controller software only works in PBP mode.

The Dual Controller software uses the same concept of Main and Sub roles as PBP mode.

There's a 'Sub full' option which makes the Sub input full screen.īelow these PBP options in the on-screen display there's a handy pictorial representation of the screen showing the split screen, the inputs allocated to each portion, their roles and which currently has control of the speakers. In addition to switching sides this changes the 'Main' and 'Sub' roles. There's a 'Swap' option to change which side each input is on. You can choose whether the monitor should output sound from either the Main or Sub input. The first option is 'Sub', which lets you pick the 'Sub' input ('Main' being the one you're already viewing) from the list of input ports. PBP settings can be accessed with only three clicks of the joystick on the 34UC98. The HDMI ports are capable of 60Hz at 3440x1440. One of your devices must be connected to one of the two HDMI ports for PBP to work. Is that right?Īpologies for the delay folks, here are my observations after getting PBP mode and Dual Controller up and running. Will using an HDMI cable instead of DisplayPort degrade my experience? My understanding is that my GTX980 and the LG should both support HDMI 2.0 and so should be able to run at full res at 60Hz over a decent cable. To cut to the chase, Dual Controller flat out doesn't work with my Thunderbolt + DisplayPort setup. I have a separate USB A to B cable to connect to the USB ports on the monitor. I'd bought a DisplayPort cable for my gaming rig as I thought that was the best option for high-res video. The MacBook Air really has to be connected by Thunderbolt in order to carry video, audio, and to act as a hub for the USB ports on the monitor. In short, at least one of them has to be HDMI (which I think is the same for Picture-By-Picture mode). I discovered early on that Dual Controller only works with certain combinations of display input. I'd hoped to share the wireless keyboard and trackpad from my MBA to the PC using LG's Dual Controller software. I have a MacBook Air and a gaming PC which I want to connect to the LG. There's a little backlight bleed in the corners which I'd prepared myself for (but don't notice 99% of the time), and really enjoying all the extra display real estate.Īs with all big tech purchases I'd done plenty of planning beforehand on how it was going to integrate with my setup.

Took delivery of my 34UC98 on Friday and I'm very happy with it.
