Public bug reported: I have monitor LG 43UD79-B and xrandr cannot correctly detect the dimensions of the monitor:
$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767 DVI-D-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 600mm x 340mm 3840x2160 60.00*+ 30.00 2560x1440 59.95 1920x1080 60.00 59.94 1600x900 60.00 1280x1024 60.02 1280x800 59.81 1280x720 60.00 59.94 1152x864 59.96 1024x768 60.00 800x600 60.32 720x480 59.94 640x480 59.94 59.93 DP-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) According to the LG spec (https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-43UD79-B-4k- uhd-led-monitor) the monitor pixel pitch is 0.2451 x 0.2451 mm so the actual panel size should be 941.184 x 529.416 mm instead of reported "600mm x 340mm". The monitor is connected via Nvidia GTX 1060 (6 GB) in case it makes a difference. Also, this monitor has BGR subpixel structure and it seems that every application will incorrectly default to RGB subpixel structure. I'm not sure if this information is supposed to be available via xrandr.
