Question about LG 34wk95u-W

I would be interested to know if anyone has ever tested or used a MacBook monitor (not a Pro or Air) with the monitor. The MacBook does not support 5K resolution. Is it possible to set a 4K resolution? If so, how does that work? Black borders on the left and right? Thank you!

Hello Epbecker
I have had this exact screen since yesterday. I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, 1440x900px, year 2017). I used the HDMI connection of the LG monitor. The cable I used was a DVI-D cable. At both ends I used the famous Apple adapters.... HDMI to DVI-D and at the other end DVI-D to Thunderbolt 1 or 2?
I got a resolution of 3440x1440 on the LG that way. There are no black borders. The image is of course a bit blurrier than with the native 5K resolution, but it would work. My solution was, as I said, rather a little adventurous, but it worked! :-) Unfortunately, I can't put any pictures up. Otherwise I would have documented my experiment accordingly!
Many greetings
