    Hello!

    I can't set the resolution and framerate to 3840x2160@60 only 3840x2160@30 (over HDMI).
    I have installed Ubuntu 19.04, but I could install 18.04 if needed.
    I tried to add and activate 3840x2160@60 with the help of xrandr, but that did not work.
    My HDMI cable is about 2m in length and flat, could it be the problem?

    Best Regards
    / Rasmus

    Is your cable a HDMI 2.0 Cable?
    Is your monitor supporting 60Hz? Perhaps there is a setting.
    What monitor do you use?

    Hello!

    The Cable is rated for 3840x2160@60Hz (I have tested with 2 cables from different vendors).

    The display can handle 3840x2160@60Hz according to the specification.

    So it's a problem with the driver (must be).

    Best Regards

    What monitor do you have? Sometimes monitors require extra settings in order to enable 60Hz

    Hello!

    I have a Swedx 49" UHD-4K monitor. (Note: it's not a TV)

    I will here with Swedx if there's a setting (I can't find one).

    I searched for settings both in BIOS on the Bolt and in the displays settings.
    I'm guessing it have nothing to do with CEC? (and ARC is only for sound I think.)

    Hello again!

    I got a response from the vendor of the display, it was a setting, EDID, when I selected 2.0 Ubuntu defaulted to 60Hz directly.
