I tried using CRU and simply changing the resolutions to 5120, however the numbers turn red and don’t allow me to save them, even though I am using the correct resolution and timings.

The monitor probably does report the correct native resolution, but the graphics driver is not reporting it correctly to Windows. I can check what the monitor reports if you run this and post the test.txt file here: https://www.monitortests.com/EDID-test.zip

CRU currently doesn't have a way to change the native resolution above 4095x4095 because of standards limitations, and newer standards weren't fully adopted by graphics drivers the last time I checked, so I couldn't find a way to make it work without deleting every other resolution.

Thanks toasty,
I’ll run this after work and post the results shortly.

Will it assist much though if we are unable to set native res above 4095?

If the nVidia driver is picking it up wrong, can we amended that so the driver/card/monitor recognise the “actual” recommended resolution of 5120 as its honestly so frustrating having the monitor reset every time I switch to my other monitor and not being able to use things like scaling etc as they all try to scale to the incorrect “recommended” resolution.

You’d think nVidia/Microsoft and AOC could get the basics.

I’ll run this asap and post the results..
