[SOLVED] hyprctl monitors incorrect after pacman -Syu update

My hyprland.conf file was working just fine for all 3 of my monitors.

However after running `sudo pacman -Syu` to update everything and then I restarted my PC, the one monitor that is connected by HDMI instead of DP no longer registers as a 1440p monitor.

Now `hyprctl monitors` command outputs this for the monitor:

Before updating everything was working fine.

I have one identical monitor that is connected via DP instead of HDMI and it is working just fine still:

Please use [code][/code] tags, the BBS predates markdown by your age. Edit your post in this regard.

nvidia recently had a lot of trouble w/ the HDMI modes, did you only now update to 580.105.x ?

Downgrading to 580.95.05-1 has worked perfectly, thank you.
