How can I get rid of Input lag using an Ultrawide Monitor while the lid is closed?

Just hooked up an LG 29" Ultrawide 29WP500 to my DIY laptop.
Resolution is 2560 x 1080, with a max refresh rate of 75. 5ms response time with FreeSync.

I have it connected via an HDMI expansion card now as I thought my external hub was the issue. Still see a good amount of lag while the lid is closed. I changed power settings to do “nothing” while lid is closed.

It seems for a few minutes it’s fine without lag until I go Idle and lag will come back up. Any suggestions?

I wonder if it’s a BIOS / Firmware bug. There seems to be some persistent issues with sleep/suspend, battery consumption, lid open / closed state, fan spin when sleep (workaround for the ‘heat’ issue)… And it looks like Framework is still having two Firmware Engineer roles waiting to be filled.

Forgot to mention running Windows 10.

If it is BIOS/Firmware related hopefully a fix is out soon…
