4K 60Hz - Intel HD530 - Problem

PDerl — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 22:18:27 GMT

Hello. Like a week ago i bought monitor Acer CB281HK it supports 4k at 60Hz via HDMI.

The problem is that when I connect my laptop to monitor by HDMI (2.0) cable it stands on 4K but on 30Hz max.

Laptop is Lenovo ideapad Y700 ISK17

Steps I took before I wrote here:

to be sure I got 2.0 HDMI cable i just bought it new thats says its 2.0 and its Premium HDMI Cable
Checked is my monitor supports 4K 60Hz via HDMI
Checked all monitor options
Checked all Windows 10 options
Checked is Intel HD530 supports 4k 60Hz via HDMI
Checked monitor, Intel HD530 and Windows to have latest drivers
Read tons of forums to figure out the problem

Is there any more step that I can take to get pleasure of viewing 4K in 60Hz?

According to the specs, the HDMI port in your laptop only supports HDMI 1.4a - which means that 4K @ 30Hz is the best you are going to do.

If you had a way to access one of the processor's DisplayPort 1.2 output streams, you could use an adapter to get 4K @ 60Hz, but I could not see any way to access any of these streams in your laptop.

The other option is to use a USB 3.0-based Graphics Adapter that supports 4K @ 60Hz. Here are some examples that claim this level of support:

Hope this helps,
