Thunderbolt to HDMI 4K@60Hz

[_kabal_]

I would like to be able to connect my Dell Precision 5510 with Thunderbolt 3 to a Hisense 43A7100F and get 4K @ 60Hz

Exactly what adapter or cable would I need to achieve this?

Thanks

Would a Dell WD19TB dock work?

The one with the Skylake CPU?
I've tried mine with 2 Dell docks, neither of them can do 60Hz with that laptop, even though I think the dock could with a newer latitude.

I don't think that specific precision can do 4K60.

You could try connecting wirelessly?

been doing a little more research and it seems that it is definitely possible to drive 4k @ 60Hz with this machine, but only via the TB3 port ( HDMI is 1.x only - 4K @ 30hz)

this document list specs seems to then say that the wd19tb dock should work - https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/dell-wd19tb-dock_users-guide3_en-us.pdf

60 is easier via displayport in my experience

i.e. USB > Displayport

4K tv won’t have display port unfortunately.

Any Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI or USB 3.1 to HDMI will work, as long as it supports HDMI 2.0.

I have this one, and it's also supposed to support 4k60:

I only tested it quickly with a 4K monitor at the office, and can't even remember which port I used. I'll test again tomorrow morning if I have time.

So I can just plug in one of these usb-c to hdmi 2.0 cables into my thunderbolt usb-c port?

Yes, that should work just fine.

My TB16 dock does in fact output 4K60 over DP. I must have done something wrong or used a crappy cable when I tested it at the office.

Remember your cable must also be HDMI 2.0
There are still some older cables out there on the market, and they wont support 4K or high frame rates
