Thanks for the tip!

Well, tried the direct connection but that didn't work either. Even bought a different USB-C cable (3.1 Gen 2) but no change. Contacted LG but the only thing they suggested was swapping out the cable, like I tried.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll shoot LG an email to see if they can clarify it. I do have a MacBook, but it’s the 2015 model without USB-C. Unfortunately I don’t have any other USB-C devices, so I can’t use USB-C to USB-C directly. EDIT: Waaaait a minute. I just build a new PC and my new motherboard does indeed have one USB-C port. Will have to try this out after work.

Thanks, will see if I can scavenge a male to male USB A cable and try again. I initially tried USB-C because while researching the monitor I vaguely remember people on Hardforum saying they couldn’t get it working with the normal USB ports, but I might be misremembering. As for a specific feature/problem; newer firmware supposedly increases the PWM frequency, so it should flicker less. I’m keen to try that out.

Hey guys, recently I bought the 4K 43" LG 43UD79-B monitor that Linus showed in a couple of videos. I've got it hooked up to my PC with DisplayPOrt and it's working good so far, but I want to update the firmware of this thing. To do that you need to install the LG software, in which you have an update firmware option. When I run that it tells me to connect a USB the monitor and PC with a USB cable, so I hooked up a USB-C cable to the USB-C port on the monitor, and then used the included USB-C to USB A adapter to plug that cable into my PC USB A port. But no matter what I try the software will keep telling me I need to connect a USB cable before I can proceed with updating, it doesn't register or something. Anyone here successfully updated the firmware on this thing?
