Raspberry 5 (RPi5) No 4kp60

  • I'm on a Raspberry 5 on a 55" OLED 4K Smart TV S93C (2023). I'm having trouble getting 60Hz.

    Kodi

    Resolutions offered:

    • 4096x2160p offers 23.09, 24.00, 29.09 or 30 Hz.
    • 2560x1440p offers 60.00 Hz only.

    Specs:

    1. Raspberry pi 5
    2. TV: 55" OLED 4K Smart TV S93C (2023)
    3. Cable: Silkland Micro HDMI to HDMI 2.1 Kabel 1M (Reviews on Amazon specifically mention 4kp60

    What I tried already:

    Adding ``to /flash/config.txt:

    hdmi_enable_4kp60
    hdmi_group=1

    I also tried the second HDMI port of the raspberry (Just loose CEC and same resolution on 30Hz)

    happy to learn if you have any suggestions, thanks! :thumbup:

  • I'd recommend whitelisting the 3840x2160 modes as it's a more accurate match for broadcast media. The 4096x2160 modes can result in vertical black bars being shown.

  • I'm having a similar issue, no 60Hz, sometimes it briefly supports 60Hz, but my TV doesn't even have a "game mode" or anything like it.

    I've not yet found what the cause of it might be though.

    I have gotten 60Hz working when I use Raspberry Pi OS, so it's not the TV, cable or Pi itself that's the problem, it seems.

  • Do you have actual media in 4K60 formats? .. because outside of demo/test material it's a rare thing and 99/100 users trying to make 4K60 work (often with under-spec cables) have no real-world need for anything above 4K30.
