Dell 9570: 4k@60Hz via HDMI #43

Open rdzak opened 6 years ago

First of all thanks for this amazing work!

Now the question: is there a way to enable 4k monitor refresh rate to be higher than 30Hz via HDMI? It works in Windows so not a hardware issue with cable or screen. I have tried setting it up while using Intel or Nvidia but no luck.

Thank you!

It works in Windows

Are you sure about this statement? https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/646b7z/can_the_xps_15_9560_drive_external_4k_monitor_at/

I can't get 60hz via HDMI too as it should be a 1.4v (so no 60hz@4k), but it should be possible via USB-C/Thunderbolt to DisplayPort

Apologies for the confusion. I'm referring to 9570 model actually.

EDID from monitor maybe wrong

Those may help you but i don't have any hardware with a hdmi 2.0 to test it out yet
