The issue did start appearing after an update on 17.10. I bought the Monitor on 29.11.2017, so it worked with the 17.10 kernel version around that time. Since HDMI on 4k only drives the Monitor @30Hz on my laptop, I bought a DP adapter. After the random screen black outs annoyed me too much I switched back to HDMI (around early this year). The monitor wasn't reliably recognized as a 4k monitor anymore.
- I installed the 4.16 Kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.16.1/ - Powered the laptop off - Switched from DP to HDMI adapter - Boot up with 4.16.1 kernel Monitor resolution was correctly identified - Rebooted with 4.16.1 kernel Monitor was not anymore correctly identified. Instead of 3840x2160@30hz the was at 1920x1080@60Hz Maybe relvant HDMI adapter info: My Lenovo Yoga 910 has a combined Type-C USB3 & DP 1.2 connector. The adapter is a LMP HDMI & USB adapter: https://www.lmp-adapter.com/en/products/cables--adapters/usb-c/lmp-usb-c-to-hdmi-multiport-adapter -- 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/1762986 Title: Display resolution of monitor via HDMI incorrectly identified Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I use a Philips BDM4037U 40'', 4k monitor. Connecting it via DP to my Lenovo 910 4k does work (except for random display blackouts). But when connecting it via HDMI the display resolution is sometimes correctly set (I cannot see a pattern when this works) but sometimes the display resolution is just set to FullHD, 1920x1080 Pixel @ 60Hz. Due to limitations of the supported HDMI protocol on my laptop I can only drive the display with 30Hz when in 4k mode. Which is totally fine for me. But this mode isn't correctly identified, most of the time.
