Windows 10: Enabling 4K on Intel HD 4000 and other old graphics cards

Hello!

I have an LG UHD TV that can display up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz (4K, UHD, 2160p) resolution. I connected my Fujitsu Stylistic Q702 tablet/laptop hybrid with HDMI cable that has onboard Intel HD 4000 graphics card. The highest resolution that is available (without tweaking) is 1920x1080 at 60Hz (Full HD, 1080p). I then tried to add a custom resolution but didn't know the exact settings, so my TV would not switch to it. After some Google search I finally did it! To save you the trouble, Intel HD 4000 can only display up to 3840x2160 at 24Hz, not any higher. To add this custom resolution with an Intel graphics card, first make sure you have the latest Intel drivers installed. Then search for the application CustomModeApp and launch it. Click on Yes to accept the disclaimer and then set Width to 1920, Height to 1080, Refresh Rate to 24, Timing to CVT-RB and click on the Add button. Confirm you want to add this custom mode and it should be available in Intel Graphics Settings. Run Settings then click on Monitor and change resolution to 3840x2160. It may say 24Hz or 23Hz, doesn't matter, the screen will be perfect without flickering (it is LCD, not CRT).

For systems with nVidia or AMD go to the respective Control Panel and access Custom Resolutions. Input the same data, select 24Hz (or higher if it works in your system) and you should be OK.

The only problem I have seen is that Intel HD 4000 cannot keep up with that huge amount of graphics data and in some applications it might stutter (small pauses). For example I had no problem watching the last episode of a serial on my TV channel's website in full screen, but it did stutter in Netflix when I set full screen. Probably tweaking Netflix's display quality would fix this problem but haven't tried. I resorted back to 1920x1080 to watch Netflix full screen.

So Intel HD 4000 and similar graphics cards can display 4K but they do struggle in full screen video (while filtering the image). "Nice silk underwear need a worthy bottom", as we say in Greek. *Wink

Can my Windows 10 laptop support an external 4K TV as a monitor (Toshiba 8Gb,i7,Intel HD Graphics 4000 ?

Hello!

1.) Can my Toshiba Satellite s855-s5378 with Intel HD graphic 4000, 8Gb, i7 Intel core, support a 4k TV as a monitor ?

Intel HD Graphic 4000 version 10.18.10.4276

I'm running a dual monitor the laptop + external 23inches without a problem. I was hoping that I could replace the 23 in. monitor with a 40-43in TV that is 4K and get an external resolution of 4K on the 4kTV. I have HDMI and USB3 ports on the laptop.



2) Can HDMI or usb3 support 4k directly or via an adapter?



Thanks

My computer is ready for windows 10 update, its reserved. But it gave me a message saying my intel hd graphics 4000 driver is not compatible. There is no windows 10 drivers on Intels site. Will microsoft give an updated driver for intel hd graphics 4000
?

 

Drive 4K resolution with Intel HD 4000 (Windows 10 issue)

I have the exact same problem :-(

However, I was running Windows 7 before and not Linux. I have of course updated with the latest Intel HD 4000 drivers from Intel but it remains the same.

If I ask Windows 10 to list all of the modes that the Intel HD 4000 supports then the highest resolution is 1920x1080. The intel config SW shows that my monitor (not the driver) can go to 4K.

Thus, this requires a driver update from Intel's side before it will work as far as I see it :-(
