Any 4k monitors that work at 50/60hz with Surface Pro 3 (win 10)?

[crispincorky]

Hi all,


In the market for a 4k monitor for my Surface Pro 3. I read that the Dell p2715q did work with a workaround in Windows 8 to get full resolution with 50hz - via an intel driver with custom settings, but it no longer works in Windows 10


see here: Issues creating custom resolution since Windows... | Intel Communities


Does anyone have a 4k monitor working with their surface pro 3 at an acceptable refresh rate, 50/60hz ?


They all seem to be stuck at 30hz with the default surface driver despite Microsoft claiming otherwise.

I may decide on a 1440p at worst case scenario. Any feedback would be great

I have the p2715q working at 50hz in Windows 10...??

Welcome to the forum

Moving this to the SP3 Win 10 section.

Great, what did you have to do to get it working? Does it matter if it's i5 or i7?

 

[zhenya]

I have the i5. I did exactly the same thing I did to get it working on 8.1.

 

[crispincorky]

Which was?

 

[zhenya]

basically the same as in your link. download the intel driver, install and set a custom resolution.

Installing the latest Intel HD Graphics Driver on Microsoft Surface Pro, Pro 2 and Pro 3 - lifeisabug.com

Great thanks. Is it the 4gb i5 that you have?

 

[crispincorky]

PS do you have mst switched on or off on the monitor?

 

[zhenya]

i5/8GB. SST is set to 'secondary' although I don't think that matters. This display uses MST for daisy-chaining not driving the main panel.

 

[crispincorky]

Ok great thanks. I've ordered the monitor ao fingers crossed. What driver version number do you have?

Thanks for the help

 

[zhenya]

10.18.15.4256 although I haven't had any version that has been problematic.
