DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't work at 4K

I have a problem with your DP to HDMI active adapter.

In short: it only work at resolutions of 1080p or less.

I have already tried using a custom resolution with CVT RD timing thru Radeon Settings program. Everthing higher than 1080p I get a few seconds of blank screen and a brief no signal message. Ten system reverts resolution back to 1920x1080 and it works again.

My TV:
UE49MU6400

My PC:
Windows 10 with Creators Update
R9 290X

Some things to make sure of:

  • Your TV HDMI input is set correctly. If your TV does not support HDMI2.0, you’ll want to set the Windows Refresh Rate no higher than 30Hz.

  • In Radeon Settings, make sure pixel format and bit depth are set such that you do not exceed HDMI bandwidth.

  • Set refresh rate thru the windows display settings. With HDMI 1.4 TV, you will have to use 30Hz for 4K.

My TV supports HDMI 2.0a, so no problems here.

I managed to get it to work by turning off the HDMI UHD Color, but now I have a different problem: !](https://d2r1vs3d9006ap.cloudfront.net/s3_images/1708394/IMG_20180226_185654_inline.jpg?1519671776)](https://d2r1vs3d9006ap.cloudfront.net/s3_images/1708394/IMG_20180226_185654.jpg?1519671776)

Hello, thanks for posting and I am sorry to hear that our adapter is not working as expected.

Does disabling HDR within your TV’s settings help? I ask because our adapter does not support HDR imaging so this could also be contributing to this behavior. It appears there’s an HDR+ setting under Settings > Picture > Expert Settings so I would be curious if you are able to disable it within the monitor’s menu.

Thank you,

HDR+ setting is unavaliable (greyed out).

I would like to add that I cannot change pixel format, bit depth is set to 8 and my display drivers are up to date.
