Additional Compatibility Notes
Vizio M-Series 4K TVs are only compatible at 4K 30Hz.To achieve 4K 60Hz each connected monitor and HDMI cable must support HDMI 2.0 specifications and the desired resolution and refresh rate. Using an HDMI 1.4-rated cable will likely result in graphical "artifacting" or loss of sync or signal with display. If connected to an HDMI 1.4 port, the resolution will be limited to 4K 30Hz.
I am only getting 4K 30Hz when using your adapter. How can I get 4K 60Hz?
There are several different reasons why a 4K display would be limited to 4K 30Hz using our adapter. We would recommend first checking:
- Monitor specifications to ensure that it can support 4K 60Hz from the desired input port. HDMI input ports must be HDMI 2.0 specification
- Ensure that the HDMI cable is HDMI 2.0 compliant
If both the system’s GPU and the monitor claim support for 4K 60Hz, please check the Windows Advanced display adapter settings to ensure that 60Hz is available and selected from the drop down list. If 30Hz is not listed and you are connected to our adapter with an HDMI cable, please double-check that the monitor has HDMI 2.0 ports. Additionally, some 4K TVs and monitors must enable an "HDMI 2.0," an “HDMI UHD Color” or “Ultra HD/UHD Deep Color” (or similar) setting for 4K 60Hz to work via HDMI. Please consult the monitor’s manual and check the monitor’s menu settings to see if there is an applicable setting.
When I set my 4K display to a 60Hz refresh, my screen goes blank or I see digital “noise”. What could be causing this?
There are multiple things that could cause this behavior, most of which pertain to HDMI 2.0 maximum resolution and refresh rate support requiring nearly twice the bandwidth of HDMI 1.4.
- Ensure that your monitor and host system can support HDMI 2.0 and 4K 60Hz resolutions
- Check to confirm you are using a cable rated for HDMI 2.0 speeds
- Updating the graphics driver on the host system can often improve performance/stability at higher resolutions and refresh rates
When I plug an Ethernet cable into the dock, none of the LEDs light up, and/or I do not get assigned a valid IP address. What could be causing this?
The Ethernet controller in the docking station requires a full duplex connection. Half duplex connections are not supported. Often, the issue is caused by older Ethernet hubs and/or cabling that do not support full duplex connections.
