hey,

so a couple months ago i got an ultra wide monitor for my setup, a LG 25UM58-P to be specific, now i heard that on some lg displays you can split the screen into the two different inputs im i just imagining this? is it all a dream? if it is true how do i do it?

My old 29UB55 and my current 34UM95 (both ultrawides) both have the support for it. The feature is called PBP and splits screen in half, one half being one input and other half being second input. You can choose both in settings and even choose which input's audio will be played through display.

Yea, your display doesn't have that feature. On LG website, it is marked in one of the two ways: PBP (Picture by Picture) or Dual Link Up.
