Refresh Rate and Graphics Support

LG31MU97 4K Display

A graphics card capable of driving a 4K display is needed to enjoy the full resolution.

It is possible to use the LG 31MU97 on an older computer: the display will scale the signal according to various settable built-in menu options: scaling-to-fit or fitting within or aspect ratio preservation, along with sharpening options to make lower-resolution signals look more crisp. Scaled resolutions are not recommended for serious use.

A 4K display really mandates a computer capable of driving it properly.

Refresh rate

At a scaled resolution of 2048 X 1080 is really full 4096 X 2160 as far as what is actually going on under the covers. At this full resolution, the maximum refresh rate is 50 Hz, a limitation imposed by the available bandwidth in the HDMK 1.2 standard.
