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/60Hz) 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/60Hz) 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. Do the following to change the HDMI standard of the HDMI connector from 2.1 to 1.4 in the UEFI BIOS menu:
    1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 to enter to the UEFI BIOS menu.

    2. Configure HDMI Mode Select in the Config menu.
