LG 27UD88 4K Wake from Sleep Issues

I have a 2017 Macbook Pro 13inch with Touch Bar connected to two LG27UD88 displays. I constantly have wake from sleep issues. The external displays will stay black and not wake properly after extended periods (5+ hours/overnight). The only real way I've been able to remedy the situation is to reboot the machine.


Most of the time when I open the laptop out of clamshell its display will also not wake up, unless I disconnect the external displays.


I am able to occasionally avoid the issue because I have hot corners turned on, and can sleep and wake the display by putting the mouse in the corner. When I do this I can force the laptop display to wake, and gracefully reboot the machine.


I have also seen screen/resolution scaling problems when waking from sleep, and all kinds of other graphics glitches.


I have seen these errors in the console when the displays are not waking properly:


error 14:51:14.574209 -0400 WindowServer [ERROR] - Fallback GPU Display Pipe transaction submission failed


error 14:51:08.201133 -0400 WindowServer [ERROR] - Driver bug - rowBytes too small. Display 0x4bc00002, ioModeID 0x80001013, ioModeDepth 0x1, bytePerRow = 32, width = 1, bitsPerPixel = 32, minRowBytes = 8192 stored width = 2048. Forcing minRowBytes (possibly still wrong).



Macbook SMC/PRAM has been reset.

LG Displays have the latest Firmware.
