Offtoppic, but just for reference: Checked the Clevo NS50MU on windows: There 4k@60Hz is also only possible with YCbCr420 so it's no linux specific problem, but propably some strange hardware limitation.
So this device defenetly needs this patch and there is no other fix where 4k@60Hz would run without YCbCr420. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1934489 Title: Make Intel GPUs choose YCbCr420 encoding automatically when required for 4k 60Hz output Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux source package in Groovy: In Progress Status in linux source package in Hirsute: Fix Committed Bug description: SRU Justification: Impact: On some setups, while the monitor and the GPU support display modes with pixel clocks of up to 600MHz, the connector might not. This prevents RGB encoding for 4k60Hz, but YCbCr420 encoding might still be possible. However, which color mode is used is decided before the pixel clock capabilities are checked, causing the check to fail and discarding 4k60Hz from the list of possible display modes. Fix: This patch fixes the problem by retrying to find a display mode with YCbCr420 enforced and using it, if it is valid. It's very similar to a patch submitted to amdgpu which fixed the same problem. Testcase: I personally tested on a Clevo NV40MB, but generally: Find a PC with a current Intel iGPU, but only a HDMI 1.4 output. Connect a 4k@60Hz display supporting YCbCr420 encoding to the HDMI port. Without the patch the maximum that can be set via xrandr is 3840 × 2160 30Hz. With the Patch 3840 × 2160 60Hz can be selected which will use YCbCr420 automatically.
