Note: The refresh rate higher than 60 Hz can also be supported. If you set the refresh rate higher than 60 Hz, the maximum resolution might be limited.

Depending on your computer models, your computer supports either of the following:

For Intel models, the HDMI connector supports the HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K / 60 Hz) standard. Connect to a compatible digital audio device or video monitor, such as an HDTV.
For AMD models, the HDMI connector supports the HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K / 60 Hz) standard by default. Use a qualified HDMI 2.1 cable to connect an external display to your computer. If you use a HDMI 1.4 cable for the connection, it might be incompatible and could potentially impact the functionality of an external display.
