Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to Active HDMI 4K (UHD) AdapterĪt your own risk, create a custom mode : 3840x2160 MsWindows CustomModeApp.exe from intel should be very helpful: install the lastest driver, & launch custommodeapp.exe with the help of windows shortcut: Win + R, in the application, select relevant screen, create resolution with 3840x2160 & CVT-RB, disconnect, reconnect & change resolution.

My configuration, a Thinkpad x230 with a docking station ThinkPad UltraBase Series 3ĭisplayPort 1.2 to Active HDMI 4K (UHD) Adapter or if you don't use a docking station, this adapter also works: : and with a active adapter dvi to hdmi & a custom mode at 30 Hz it's possible ! Imagine an old laptop of 2012 with this wonderful display resolution :)

I just bought an UHD 4K screen in 27' (a Benq2711U) despite the limitation resolution standard : officially it's not possible to have an external monitor in resolution of 3840x2160 with a thinkpad x230 or T430 due to 'Intel HD Graphics 4000' limitations.īut I like to try myself.
