    Kubuntu 20.04 does not detect the correct resolution.

    I am on Kubuntu 20.04..My monitor supports 2k@144hz ... but the maximum resolution I can set through Kubuntu is 1080p@60hz ... How can I get the max resolution ?

    Open a terminal and enter:

    xrandr

    The output will show us what resolutions are being supported. If you desire help with the issue, you need to supply enough information for someone else to help. Along with the results of xrandr, post the monitor and video card models at least. Just because your monitor supports a resolution doesn't mean everything else does.

        Don't forget to check the cable. Not all HDMI cables support higher than 1080.

        Video card info would help here as well.

          This dock has a display port on it so I used a DP to HDMI cable to connect the dock to the monitor: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01...e?ie=UTF8&th=1

          After this change, I am not able to set 2k@144hz res...

              The cable is the bottleneck:

                If the dock has DP, why not use DP? I had to drop my DP connection because my nVidia card failed and using HDMI on the Intel 530 (i7 built-in) I can only get 30hz at QHD+ (3840x1600) even though the monitor supports 75hz
